“You can’t afford it” Just take a loan, you’ve got all of eternity to pay it back
Yeah, I could see them making people work centuries to pay off the debt, or even worse, it only extends your life by a few years at a time and they turn it into a subscription service
Now you’re thinking with capitalism!
Also similar concept, check out John Scalzi’s Old man’s war, follows that idea
Nah, the ultra rich assholes would still want to wipe their asses with all the resources in the world, just to ensure “the poor and undesirables” don’t get to use it before them.
That would explain Elon Musk being concerned about the Sun engulfing Earth a billion years from now
No that’s just his 12-year-old-on-the-internet reason to sell land on Mars.
That puts too much blame on individuals instead of the system. These aren’t bad apples, the system isn’t broken. The system works as intended, it’s just that most of us are on the losing end. Also: there is no alternative.
The system is broken, though. It’s unsustainable in the long term. There are alternatives.
Except we’ll be able to afford it and even the government will enforce it.
Imagine paying for kids, school, and so on before people can start working and then get like only 30 years of productivity before having to take care of them again for years and years?!
Nah longevity will be sponsored and paid for by any not stupid country. How do we like to live our lives, that’s another matter ofc.
Gods, you couldn’t pay me enough to live forever. I’m looking forward to dying.
Living forever is a curse for sure if you have no way out
But living as long as you want in good health is for sure pretty awesome
