What would be some fact that, while true, could be told in a context or way that is misinfomating or make the other person draw incorrect conclusions?

    Are you assuming that everyone currently alive is immortal? You may be in for some disappointment.

      We have no evidence they’re not. Statistically speaking, as many as 8% of humans are potentially immortal.

        It’s common sense that if aging were solved tomorrow, it would be patented and the wealthiest 3% would enjoy much longer lives, while the working class wouldn’t see much change.

        Incidentally, longer life would allow even more accumulation of money and power, making inequality worse.

        Plus side: billionaires now consider climate change threat #1 and use many more resources to solve it compared to today, rather than only care about the next 40-50 years.

          On the down side, they’d probably solve the climate crisis by spreading vaporised peons in the upper atmosphere to block some of the solar radiation.

        Yeah, only about 8% of people currently living are immortal, so don’t get your hopes up.
