If tech oligarchs really want to extend human lifetimes, the proven way to do it is simple: eliminate poverty, improve education, expand healthcare.

Oh! They want to extend _thier_ lives!

Got it.

Turns out — eventually — that’s going to be the way to extend their lives, too.

@gknauss it's pretty naive to describe eliminating poverty as simple.

@volkris @gknauss what's complicated about it, other than people being greedy?

@Orb2069 wow, there are are SO many complications ranging from the political through the practical, from the steering of democratic processes through the literal moving of currency from one place to another.

If poverty was simple to alleviate then it would have been alleviated long long ago.

@gknauss

@volkris
...yes, and all those complications stem from people who have control of things using that control to keep those things and amass more. You know, greed.

This feels like the "the civil war was about states rights"argument with different words.
