> Unlimited human life expectancy vs limited resources? How would that work?
Just like today but controlling the population would be necessary. Do you want to live forever? Fine, but no children until you die. Since people would still statistically die in accidents or by suicide, new births could still be permitted. As productivity increases over time, everyone would lead a better life in a population-controlled world

Overthrow him? With infinite time, you have an infinite number of attempts. Dictatorships are governed by regimes, not just one person. The dictator is merely a manifestation and representation of that regime. As history has often shown, killing one dictator may simply lead to another, if one dies of old age, a successor will take his place.
