>The riots would collapse society. Except you're starting to see the first cracks of that, but we're just too busy to see it: when you have people willing to die for a chance of a better life, then you're not that far from it. >To imply that longevity will not some day be available to all is absurd. How can you say that when longevity isn't available to all in the current days? >There is no renewal process. There is only a permanent end. A void that you will never escape from. Of course there's a renewal process, old habits, vices, skewed and biased perspectives of the world are all flushed and reset with death. The only void is the space you leave and that will eventually be filled up, and that's ok. |

Because technology inevitably becomes cheaper. Your smartphone did not exist 20 years ago, and 15 years ago only the rich could afford it. Today the whole world has one. Such is the way of technology.

Let's say people lived forever. Would killing them at 80 years be justifiable because "we need to flush out their ways of life?"
Humanity can progress without death. It might be slower, even glacial, but that is completely irrelevant because you will experience more net progress in the end.
