> I read somewhere that because people don't live that long, we don't have a collective memory of previous disasters or pandemics (anyone who was alive today during the 1918 pandemic wouldn't really remember it)

I’m splitting hairs, but aren’t these two separate problems?

If I lived 1,000 years, I’m not sure I’d be able to remember things that happened 200 years ago super well. I can’t remember things that happened 20 years ago very well.

The assumption that I'm going under (I assume others as well) is that if we can halt aging, we might be able to do something with memory as well.

Although I kinda personally believe (more on hope than any technology being available) that we can move to a non biological medium with nearly infinite storage, speed of light processing speed, effective immortality...etc. The only needs would be entertainment and energy.

Of course, we have zero idea if that is even possible.
