Better medical technology means people die older. Older people already own most of the capital, having them live longer isn’t going to get us to a healthier society that’s not as biased towards existing capital versus innovation and income.
- kiba 3y agoAnd older people passing their wealth to a newer generation isn't going to fix things either. All that changes is who will be ossifying society. At least, with medical technologies, people can't run away from the problem by dying of old age. That's a separate problem to the population crisis. People thinks population's going to decline. I am not so sure. Things can change a lot in a few decade. All we can say that at this current time, the trend is toward population decline.
