Its not that different then generational wealth, we have families in the west that have built up wealth for centuries. But imaging how the west is sliding faster and faster into neo feudalism having to life as a serf forever does make it seem dystopian.

But being immune to aging does give the human race other options where a 100 year trip might now be impossible if you can reach a age of 1000 a 100 year stellar trip might actually be acceptable.

Does makes me wonder how many memories can the brain actually store and not degrade. when you go into your 4th century will you forget your 2nd century slowly.

As I go into my fifth decade most of the third is fuzzy so this seems believable.

hah. The only sharp memories of my teenage years - three decades ago - are the ones that make me stop in the street and cringe while swearing under my breath. How could I have been such an asshole? OMG, am I still that much of an asshole?

To remember the sweet and good things I did, said, and experienced as a teenager, with that same sharpness seems like the most desirable gift of all.
