Will Old Age Be Free for Us?
If we get cheaper energy and AI is helpful and makes things easier and there are robots and cheap transportations, if crime is solved through panopticon surveillance, if nanobots make raw materials and manufacturing more available, do you think maybe those of us who saved enough to retire will seem like suckers?
I'm sure there'd still be stuff to spend money on. At that point the medical breakthroughs would let us live a couple more decades with some energy and clarity.
So do you think so? I kinda hope we have an alien tier thing going on by then, I don't think there'll be any of that but it'll be like that, we'll be producing genetically engineered humans that make the current humans obsolete.
Yea I save but I am counting on not needing it. I'll fèel like a chump
