Defeating aging.

Read the book Ending Aging by Aubrey de Grey...

Limitless Peace

so no more inheritance? no more younger generations getting their turn to control things? sounds like a nightmare scenario.

The previous poster spoke about defeating aging, not death.

I mean if we kept the same lifespan as we have today, but everyone basically stopped aging at 35, you keep the energy and clarity of mind all throughout your life, but still die at 82 or whatever, I'd call that a win.

Maybe think more creatively and not with a scarcity oriented pro-aging mindset. Limitless peace.
