“If humans routinely live to 120 or 150, power cycles extend. Innovation may deepen or stagnate. Political systems may stabilise or ossify. Capital concentrates over timescales previously impossible. Borders tighten under demographic pressure or fracture under migration necessity. Minds strain under the accumulation of extended consciousness in a world of relentless information load. Culture loses the generational rebellion that has historically been one of its engines of renewal.

These are not science fiction scenarios. They are the logical extensions of research trajectories already underway, funded by capital that has made its bets.”
