I completely agree, I just hope we reach UBI before we're forced into it. The fallout we could see in just the next 5 years from lack of jobs is horrifying to contemplate. I do believe (because I'm a humanist and an optimist I guess) that we will get UBI some day, I just hope we don't have to go through a lot of suffering to get to it.

Honestly I know a lot of people are against this, for one reason or another, but it could be huge. If for no other reasons then to cut down on traffic congestion.

Okay, so biblical ages. Still a really long time to live and we still don't know what it would do to our psychology

This is a big one. If we do halt aging, people will still reach a point where they want to die, as morbid as that may be. We don't know the psychological impact of near immortality and not to sound like a pessimist but I don't think it'll be good

Me too, I'm a pacifist but if it comes down to fighting for a better future then I'll die on the front lines
