My logic is thus: I believe that historical progression* has required the death of the establishment in order to turn over news ways of thought. Moreover, political power has historically been more concentrated than now. Think about how many times, in history, massive changes could not have existed without turnover of the establishment. I think progress demands turnover, because those in power tend both to stay in power and to think like they did before. So I think innovation and progress requires turnover, fair enough. I also don't believe that "current human society" is necessarily any better at decision making than "Middle Ages society", so I wouldn't think that humankind is now equipped to deal with immortality. So yeah, I guess I'm saying that old men should die. I wish it weren't awful as it so often is, and I wish that maybe it were a bit longer, but there it is. * also fair to question the assumption of historical "progress"; I'm not sure but humans weren't better off as hunter-gatherers than what I fear our future could become.
