If people want those things it’s their right to make those life choices for themselves. Preferably people would not be in a situation where they would become dependent on either of those, but it’s better to have the option than not.

If that happened there would be worldwide French Revolution conditions lmao. If they want to keep their heads the elites will share longevity tech.

The problem is techno-pessimism is almost never productive, it’s nearly always just nihilistic bitching. I sort of feel like if people are going to post techno pessimistic comments they should actually be offering some constructive opinions instead of just saying how fucked we all are.

Well I don’t think the near future will necessarily be utopian in the slightest, but there is plainly a limit to what the elite are capable of getting away with. When they cross the line, the proles always bring out the guillotines and that is what would happen again if the 1% are stupid enough to try to “get rid of” the masses. If a dystopian scenario happens, it is more likely to be as a result of nuclear war or something that reduces the level of technology.

Wouldn’t need to read Iain M Banks, our lives would be an Iain M Banks plot.
