What's the maximum? About 120?

Imagine having 100 or more healthy years. That seems like sci-fi, but may be possible one day still.

It will also mean working until you're 100 before the national pension kicks in unfortunately lol

Around 120 is maximum yes. I think some french woman might have gotten near 130 but I forget.

Unless you believe the bible, in which case hundreds and hundreds of years. And woman was made from man's rib. Makes sense.

National pension

Ngl, you had me in the first half...

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They nearly had me in the first quarter, but now I no longer believe I'll ever see it. Not enough young people are born. My generation is enough to support the current old people, but there won't be enough people to support my generation.

Are there enough people at the current system where the top 1% get 99% of the resources? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But there are 100% going to be enough people to keep the basics going

We are thousands of times more efficient than we were a couple hundred years ago.
