A few years ago, there was a refrain going around that “the world’s first 200 year old has already been born”. The suggestion was that life extending tech was now here, such that illness, disease and early death were to become a thing of the past. It is now abundantly clear to me that while all this might be true, there is no way this gets to the proles unless the war and the great awakening manages to reset all human schema of morality, enterprise and co-existence.
