    We have no evidence they’re not. Statistically speaking, as many as 8% of humans are potentially immortal.

      It’s common sense that if aging were solved tomorrow, it would be patented and the wealthiest 3% would enjoy much longer lives, while the working class wouldn’t see much change.

      Incidentally, longer life would allow even more accumulation of money and power, making inequality worse.

      Plus side: billionaires now consider climate change threat #1 and use many more resources to solve it compared to today, rather than only care about the next 40-50 years.

        On the down side, they’d probably solve the climate crisis by spreading vaporised peons in the upper atmosphere to block some of the solar radiation.
