A war on aging would be 1000 times more constructive than our current 'wars'. The war on terror cost us fundamental rights and the war on drugs didn't change the percentage of people who abuse them.
It would have many positive outcomes; technology, healthcare, jobs and understanding of the human body. Even if it doesn't reach its goal of extending lives.
- zanny 14y agoThe war on drugs also violates fundamental rights. From a distance, anything a person does to themselves should be their right and nobody else’s business, because anything less violates your freedom in general. As long as you are not harming others with your actions, whatever you do should be nobodies business in abstract. By even saying drugs should be illegal you tell people what they can and can't possess personally, or do in their own homes without impacting anyone else, and that is as much a rights violation as wire tapping or eavesdropping.
