This is an interesting point. "Advancement" doesn't mean the fields are only getting narrower. Advancement means having to deal with increasing number of multi-disciplinary fields. So, the expectancy of convergence is positive.
With marginal increase of lifespan one may only see specialization. But if one dares to imagine a 1.5x to 2x lifespan, the meaning of "time" will change.
All economical decisions are also subconsciously factoring lifespan, with a mental model of "division by time" to see if something is worth that fraction of their life.
The imbalance created by say a 1.5x or 2x rise in lifespan will surely make way for more scientific enlightenment of masses.
Edit: corrected word "Specialization" into "Advancement"
