When mankind can live to 200 years wars will be way less prevalent. People will also be way more careful in how they live their individual lives.

The sociology of greatly increased life spans is fascinating to contemplate.

The sociology of greatly increased life spans is fascinating to contemplate.

It becomes seriously difficult to rewrite history. Would the founding fathers have not stopped FDR? Prohibition? WOsomeD? "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."? Income tax?

I don't think so. People who start wars don't fight in them.
