I said exactly this about Bryan Johnson a little while back. Someone was trying to defend his weirdness by claiming he was just trying to help humanity, and I was like BS. He’s trying to help himself. If he ever DOES find a way to significantly extend human life, you can bet your ass that it’ll be patented and cost a fucking fortune. Only him and his billionaire cronies will be able to afford it.
they can afford the initial release. sure. but lets not pretend the world best and brightest wont attempt day and night to steal the information needed to make it public.
Then you get a whole different problem, politics among elf-length lifespans of humans. With a side of feeding a population that gets even more exponential the better the tech gets.

yep
Nah, it’ll be expensive but just barely affordable for a decent size of the population.
The retirement age will be increased to 150.
