Prolonging lifespans
#10
RE: Prolonging lifespans
That's with the current model Mister Agenda. But if people lived longer, they would have to work longer. There would be a finite number of jobs available, at some point, the 150 year old guy working a machine press is in a position that someone younger could fill. The only way to balance this would be through massive human expansion. We also have to consider the obvious effect of people living longer, over-population.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me

"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
