    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.

    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.

      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

    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
