Imagine graduating college this summer and trying to start a career. Maybe you take a remote, unpaid internship somewhere. Its all zoom calls and phone calls. Whatever comes after this pandemic is going to be close to economic desolation for so many young people, with nothing better to do than organize, make videos/podcasts, protest and try to figure out ways to change that system.
That's a pretty good point. Not gonna say it's a bad thing that people live long, but it's still an interesting point. People live to approximately 66 in currently-existing hunter-gatherer societies, which is also the global average. In rich countries today, of course, the average is ~80.
This surely has some effects when it comes to slowing down change. Which isn't always bad, but might not be great during a time when we need rapid social change.
when you have a bunch of un-self-aware rabidly conformist religion infested morons hostile to the very concept of learning and growth, old age gains them nothing but an accumulation of vices.
Hahahahaha ya. What a miserable, navel-gazing cycle to be trapped in for your whole life. o7's to all the un-self-aware rabidly conformist religion infested morons goin' out in style o7

Yup. Artists have always been denigrated under capitalism for that exact reasons: we're dangerous.
