1999ers have a decent chance of living in 3 centuries. Much more impressive
A guy I once knew had a great grandmom born in 1898 who accomplished just that! She must have had some killer stories!
The world wars did kill a lot of people.
When longevity science kicks in, they'll make theee millenniums too.
The rich ones, at least. Longevity science under capitalism will result in a quasi-immortal upper class and a mortal lower class. Another looming threat of ultra-late capitalism.
That's debunked. The economy of scale will give us cheap treatments, and any society will be stupid(if not for altruistic reasons, for economical reasons) not curing their population.
If you must have a down spin on people not getting debilitating diseases until they eventually dies, think of how maybe we'll have to work way longer than today ;-)
You won't be allowed to die. You will work and you will accrue "retirement," which is time you get to live after you stop working. They will keep you alive for as long as you owe the company, and then you will be allowed to cash in your six months of retirement.
Well that's dystopian. I think in the free world it will be a new era, or so I hope!
