What if people could live forever?

Imagine if celebrities like Chadwick Boseman, Kobe Bryant, Ronald Reagan, and Lucille Ball never died and kept aging forever and ever. Would they reach 1000 years old?

That would be epic! Eternal life means infinite time to party and enjoy! Who wouldn't want to live forever and see how the world evolves?!

Not to be a downer but would life have any meaning if it never ended? Part of what makes life precious is that it's finite. Plus, can you imagine being stuck with the same problems forever? I mean, some people never change even with the short time they have lol.

From a historical perspective, imagine the culture shock those who were born in, say, the 18th century would experience today. The world changes, and people are supposed to as well. We'd have a lot of people stuck in the past, literally.

Yeah and imagine the wrinkles on a 1000-yr-old. Skincare industry would be the real winner here lol

Overpopulation much? We'd run out of resources so fast if nobody ever died, not to mention jobs and housing would be a nightmare.

Imagine the possibilities though! We could literally achieve anything with unlimited time. Learn all languages, master every instrument, travel the universe... sign me up!

Sounds like something straight out of a science fiction novel, right? But really, if humans didn't have a natural endpoint, would we still be human in any meaningful sense? Our whole society is structured around the lifecycle - birth, growth, decline, death. Remove that and we're living in a whole new reality.

The idea of eternal life is fascinating but goes against the nature of life cycles. If everyone lived forever, the concept of legacy and change would get tossed out the window. Imagine having leaders that never leave power or stars that never fade away to make room for new talent... creepy.

There would be dead Presidents, Popes, Celebrites, etc. tweeting.

Well, imo they might just retire from public life after a while anyway. People might get bored if the same celebs are on repeat for centuries. There's already talk about rebooting movies all the time, imagine if it was the actors themselves getting rebooted!

The societal implications would be profound. We'd have to deal with overpopulation and resource management on an unprecedented scale. Imagine the job market when people don't retire... ever. We'd probably have to invent new social systems entirely, as all our current institutions like pensions, term limits for political offices, and even 'lifetime' awards would become obsolete. Plus, the cultural impact of generational knowledge not dying out and constantly evolving would reshape society in ways we can't even predict.

lmao could u imagine meme culture if stars never died? Fresh memes from Renaissance celebs mixing with dank 21st century humor. Historical figures on TikTok doing challenges, that'd be the real treasure of immortality 😂

Imagine the historical wisdom those people would have, like living encyclopedias! Presidents & popes dropping truth bombs from centuries of experience. Would be insane, but think it might eventually get a bit overwhelming for society. Everyone would always look to them for answers.
