This is what makes experienced history so extremely short.
In general, people have a somewhat ok understanding of how their grandparents lived, and they might know a few stories about their great-grandparents, maybe one more generation after that, but that where it ends and where history books with dates and numbers begin.
That’s where you get statements like “In the past people did/believed/were like/… X” from. No, your grandparents did/believed/were like/… X, not all people in the past.
There is just about zero chance that those changes would filter down to the masses, so hopefully that doesn’t happen. I don’t want billionaires to live forever, that would be some real life vampire shit.
Actually it’s debunked that only rich would benefit. Any sane country would prefer paying less to keep people healthy than more for health care, and the treatments are in theory not costly by themselves.
Maybe at the start rich people will try out treatments before economy of scale have hit, a bit like mobile telephones (at the start they were super expensive and worked not well). Except they are now the guinea pigs.
How could you possibly know that the treatments to reverse againg aren’t going to be costly?
Any sane country
Have you seen how things have been going lately? Billionaires are literally destroying our planet for profit, and judging by the politics they support their endgame seems to be total control over the population, not any kind of longterm development of national wealth.
Downvote all you want but being irrational doesn’t help you out here.
Billionaires has nothing to do with geriatric research for what I know, and every country isn’t the USA.
Medication is expensive to invent but cheap to produce. Don’t you think like everyone won’t synthesise it themselves if it rejuvenates you? And that’s like the worst thing that would happen. Most research is directed from Europe, and we don’t have the tendency to kill people for profit as our friends the Americans do.
I didn’t downvote you, it’s probably a good idea to not make assumptions like that.

I’m not from the US - again, don’t assume. That said, billionaires in other countries aren’t any different, they just aren’t quite as far yet on their road to neo-feudalism or whatever else fucked up system is their endgame. They sure aren’t throwing their weight behind anti-fascist endeavors.

In 120 years the earth will be all new people. That scares my kids. Makes me hopeful.
And machines will stay the same. That’s why they are superior.
I challenge you to find a 120yo machine near you that is in working condition.

Or we crack the code to repair damage caused by aging.
