No more new generations, no more change. Just immensely powerful old people who look young grabbing ever more tightly onto power. Right now generational wealth fizzles out due to idiot heirs eventually appearing. Imagine if someone could ride a thousand years of exponential gains.

    The 200 year old elves in LOTR weren't real. In reality all we have are humans, and humans are bastards.

      As a card-carrying bastard myself, I can assure you that not all humans are bastards. Some humans are lovely to be around.
