I will never understand why people are so mad about him trying to slow his aging.
“Hey fuck you, why are you trying to not die. You should give up like the rest of us.”
Like damn I wish every billionaire was like him, we might actually get some decent funding for anti-aging research.
I don’t know why people are mad about it, but the shit he’s doing is hilariously clownish.
In general though I completely agree if he figures out something real that can actually be used by the poors (unlikely and also partly why everyone hates him) then that would indeed be good

I have this idea for a dystopian story where we’ve figured out aging and can keep people alive forever, but it’s only done so that people can continue to work in order to pay off their debts, and only once you’ve done so are you allowed to die. And the people who administer the anti-aging treatment are also the ones who hold the notes on your debt. I’ll get around to writing it one day. I’m sure it’ll just be a copy of Running Man or something.

I like it, do it! Have you read Altered Carbon? Has some similar themes. I loved the book, might be some good inspiration. I’ll read yours when it’s out, love that genre :).
