      Why does the prez look like crap and his hand is rotting? Why do we see turtles in Congress freezing and needing a reboot?

      Except none of them have lived that long. They hype everything they do as The Next Big Thing, but none of it has been that in 20 years.

      Smartwatches, VR/AR, crypto, Metaverse, AI, smart everything, IoT… There’s gotta be a ton more. If those turds had a heal-everything box, they’d use them to make billions.

        I have no evidence to support this, but I think he took some poorly-researched HGH analogue, but didn’t work out at all, so his bones got all fucky, his hair fell out, and he grew no muscle.

      Yeah, no. None of this exists, nor will exist for at least decades to come, same as living beyond 120 years of age

      “Ok guys ngl I honestly believe their is a two tier tech system”

      Yes

      “…and billionaires have sci-fi level medical access to techniques that stretch lifespan to 120-170”

      No, but we are getting there. I think it’s far more likely these billionaires will start building neural models of themselves so they can outlive their bodies. It will be the modern equivalent of an expensive portrait or statue. It will also be terrifying if left in charge of making decisions for large companies because pride and money.

        It would also be a cheap imitation, it will not be the immortality they are looking for, science is nowhere near this singularity they are dumping all of this money into.
