This is a great example of a major benefit of extending human life: Having people that have witnessed history to guide us through future problems.

Well, we still have quite a few wise folks who witnessed the Great Depression. Nevertheless, we didn't listen to them or consult with them or else we wouldn't be facing the current economic crisis. Life extension is good, but it will just mean that more people will witness history repeating itself.

The one thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.
