T-Rex: If we were all immortal, then obviously we'd have an overpopulation problem. But what are some of the less obvious downsides? What does a world where everyone is immortal ACTUALLY look like?
Narrator: MORE DOWNSIDES TO IMMORTALITY
T-Rex: The sun rises on an unhappy, technologically underdeveloped world. Old racisms from thousands of years ago are still prevalent, conflicts that would otherwise have been completely forgotten still used as justification for reprisals. Positions of power have been held for hundreds, even thousands of years by one person: when assassination isn't an option, jobs are left only when they're no longer interesting! Society ossifies.
Utahraptor: But at least we're all frozen in peak physicality!
T-Rex: Sure!
T-Rex: And because of that, there's little concern about establishing a legacy. Skills, secrets, inventions and discoveries are jealously guarded, their potential returns stretching out over a lifetime that never ends. In summary and in conclusion, a world where everyone's immortal is bad for everyone!
T-Rex: However, a society in which ONLY I am immortal would have none of these problems. Hey God, folks say you are always listening!
T-Rex: In this case, may I suggest you should be TAKING NOTES
