Because mandatory sterilization if you get the cure for aging is impossible
>and big business would never fucking let that sort of thing get out into the public at a cheap rate.
It will not be expensive because
1) Making it affordable to average people means more profit/market for them
2) If they maintain super-high prices, 10 million very angry aging people will most likely turn up at their front steps with crowbars.

If anything, it would be kept more or less secret or an "experimental" treatment so that only the people with a lot of cash could afford it. People who live too long get too smart and smart people are dangerous to civilization if they form the majority.

Actually human stupidity and the fact that the general human pop is more or less stupid creates way more danger than anything else. Remember stupidity is related to someone being accident prone for a reason.

>> No.1835369

>>1835363

Stupid people are more prone to stupidity, but they're also more easily manipulated and controlled. Having the majority of your population full of idiots is an easy way to secure power and enable the minority to progress scientifically while the rest of civilization ticks along.

If everyone is intelligent, everyone will feel more entitled and superior and they'll recognize when they're being mistreated more easily. Intelligent people are likely to put up a fight if someone tries to pull a fast one on them. Having too many intelligent people brings political instability and with that, civil instability.

A world full of condescending self-titled geniuses is far from a utopia.

Taking in consideration we dont even know right now what race has the better genetics to develop the most cappable human being(taking social shit in disconsideration).
So by that you are just saying hey lets make capitalism also immortal, even thought there must be better ways to live in a community.
