Except we’ll be able to afford it and even the government will enforce it.
Imagine paying for kids, school, and so on before people can start working and then get like only 30 years of productivity before having to take care of them again for years and years?!
Nah longevity will be sponsored and paid for by any not stupid country. How do we like to live our lives, that’s another matter ofc.
Corporations will pay for their employees’ immortality, with a clause that said immortality belongs to the employer and if the contract is terminated they can revoke it retroactively.

Yeah but our society IS stupid. On a larger scale we are acting with the intelligence of a slime mold, always growing towards where food or energy is and nothing else. It’s going to be patented which means monopolies or cartels are going to profit maximize it. Or are you some communist? You tankie??? :D I mean right now medicine and healthcare is for profit in the US which is stupid like you say.
BTW we’re facing the same problem with climate change btw, thousands of improvement to reduce carbon emissions are going to be patented and min maxed for profit. PS: I’m still holding out hope that one day soon we’ll wake up and become sentient as a civilization.

Interesting take. Having well trained immortal slaves means stability. However those slaves may also live long enough to learn to think differently.
It all depends on the caveats of immortality.
I’de guess it will all depend on shaped explosive collars and implants. And the suppression of associated jamming technologies.
This going be some in time shit right?

You are assuming that “immortality” means you stay fit and can continue working.
Maybe in this scenario immortality just means you are alive and conscious, but you lose your mental sharpness and all you can do is lay in bed.
It’d be a slightly interesting dystopia once people figured out how to use a demented, bedridden brain to mine cryptocurrency…
True, but the ongoing biotech revolution is aimed at repairing, so rejuvenation. Not just trying to just keep people alive like it is now.
