Yes very illogical to hope that life will get better when my analysis proves the opposite. Bazinga!

Why do you believe that extending human life will make “life better”?
This is a very good question which i resonate with. The implications that an extend life is better. In my personal opinion life as we know it would be vastly different and who knows how different it could be, for better or for worse.
Wouldn't it be great if every figure we learned about in history class was still alive and kicking today? Wouldn't that just make everything so much better?

"So long as men die, liberty shall never perish."

Have you heard of term limits?
You mean those words written on paper that get immediately torn up as soon as they become inconvenient for people in power?

Russia had term limits too. Once.

> very illogical to hope

Hope is a feeling of expectation of positive outcomes, therefore illogical by definition.
