History tells us that troubled societies change at the last moment and still most fail.
History also tells us that old individuals change at the last moment and all fail.
Maybe we aren't selfish enough.
Maybe if the elderly focused on staying alive long enough to figure out how to stay alive longer, etc., we'd all benefit.
Instead those of you with money and/or influence invest in the present and the future and unlike everything else you plan to the last detail, you hope somehow you'll be part of that future.
Now that we have the potential to figure out where the aging genes are and benign viruses to turn them off, it's the time for you to plan on a future that includes you as well instead of just hoping.
But if you think it can be done on the cheap without the entire species involved and motivated and you're wrong, then both your plans and your hopes will not come true.
So join us and live on less but enough so that we can do this right and all of us end up living long and well enough to figure out how to live even longer and better.
