Imagine you’d live long enough that learning all sorts of things is worth while. People might want to become much more educated and versatile and know how to grow their own food, repair, build and maintain their own appliances, know how to build a house, know how to manage a small business. And I think it would (relatively) quickly be followed by “hey we want to live and work in a fun way”.
Right now you can just fool the next generation because they are just as susceptible to a new flavour of propaganda than the last generation.
But yeah you’re right, overall it would be a huge boost to productivity. But it would also be a massive shift in power one way or the other (either enslavement for longevity drugs or empowerment and more desire for long term societal gains)
Imagine the profits having a workforce that never retires.
