You’re not tho.
I’ve given you several examples of healthcare inequalities if today.
You haven’t given a single example if why this technology would be different beyond that it would be cost-effective.
I’ll ask again. Why would this be universally provided when basic medicine and healthcare isn’t provided today?
Our current economical system isn’t cost-effective beyond the red line of a single corporation. Enormous resources are wasted because of this.
Come on now mate, you’re making us both look bad. You can do better. I am sure there is a point in there somewhere if you can only form it into a coherent thought.

Sorry bud, you already said this almost verbatim.
Try again, please.

Only because you stubbornly refuse to acknowledge my many examples of present day inequalities.
You have yet to produce a single credible argument why a life prolonging technology wouldn’t benefit the ultra rich much greater and to the detriment of everyone else.
We know it is because there are no arguments - I just want to you to continue to imply it by your stumbling sputterings.

That is no the issue we are debating.
This technology will be researched until we have achieved immortality.
We are debating your silly notion that it will somehow be distributed evenly amongst rich and poor alike.
“The future has already arrived. It's just not evenly distributed yet.”
- William Gibson
Cancer is a good example. With the right healthcare several cancers can already today be prevented or removed. In many cases the resources aren’t invested to help people.

You still haven’t answered my question why you think this technology will be universally distributed when we there’s still a lot of poor people dying from hunger, lack of clean water and preventable diseases?
Why is it that diabetics, in the US no less, are dying because they cannot pay for insulin?
Surely it pays more to have them pay for insulin over a lifetime rather than price gouging?
The world isn’t rational and you are deluded.

You are arguing against yourself.
First you say that everyone will benefit from a technology that increases life expectancy.
Now you say that healthcare is wasted on people based on their age.
Checkmate, mate.
Incidentally, how old are you? Just curious, don’t feel like you have to answer. It just seems as something a young person would say.

Great point and well made. At least Putin will eventually die. Imagine the world where he just keeps going.

The richest country in the world doesn’t have universal healthcare and the average life expectancy for the US hasn’t recovered from the decline during covid. Every other first world country have both universal healthcare and a (much) higher life expectancy.
US have one of the highest number of billionaires per capita in the world.
The simple facts are against you mate.

Wow. I would give a lot to have your optimistic view of the world.
Surely you’ve heard of Aids or Diabetes or Malaria?

Name a beneficial technology that doesn’t benefit the ultra rich exponentially?
I’ve got the polio vaccine and seat belt. Although the ultra rich drives safer cars and have better health care…

Imagine Elon or Jeff living 200+ years. You don’t have to imagine. Someone already did and wrote a book called Altered Carbon. It’s a Netflix series too. Bad news for anyone but the ultra rich.
