Maybe in some ultra rich country, certainly not in the declining West though.

Meanwhile retirement funding is smaller and smaller. Imagine being retired longer than not

Funding getting smaller, retirement age getting higher. Governments want to milk every working year out of its citizens. Longer, healthier life should benefit the people, not the governments.

I gave up on it when it turned out one of the figureheads of anti-aging researched ended up being a huge creep and everyone involved rushed to defend them. 💀 It's like, nah if these are the kinds of people who are going to be prevalent in a post-death world, i'd rather die.

That's not even accounting for those doing eugenics pseudoscience injecting baby penises into their faces thinking it will make them live forever. No thank you. It's a good thing that shit has a zero% chance of working and has a not-zero% chance of doing the opposite.

Imaginable as possible? Ok, maybe.

Imaginable as tolerable? Please God no.
