need a new heart? new lungs? we nearly have the technology to grow you your own genetically identical body part in a petri dish. the .1% may already be growing their own cloned spare parts in china or india.
but you can’t do this with the brain. you can’t download the memory and software to that new grey hardware. and if you live long enough, alzheimers does come for everyone.
so in the future, we will have alot of physically healthy but very senile wealthy people living off the interest on their interest. driving their fucking bentley’s real slowly and erratically, blocking supermarket aisles in Boca Raton and Monaco, and asking the same fucking questions over and over and over again. these senile pests will be here on earth running the world when our children are born, and they will be here when our children’s children are dead, and it will be the same goddamned people. same names, generation after generation. these people will need a new name for their group’s identity. something like Vampires or Zombies. the Frankenwealthy.
but it is easy to rip off old senile people with roofing and driveway sealant scams, so we have that going for us.
