Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 Thanks, , Something always overlooked and a REAL barrier to living is running out of money before 120 yo. If we think we're going to get to even 100 yo we better have some real monetary policy that gets us there. It is already thought that the economic drag is felt even with 65 yo who live maybe 12 yrs. People will have to work until 150 to live to 180. Working at that age may shorten their life.

This of course relies on our risk-aversion being ubiquitous -- applying to the willingness to go to war, the effort to subvert new infectious diseases, etc, as well as our attitude to mere accidents -- but I see no reason why that should not be the case.
