That's great and all, but how will it affect us 99.99999999 percenters?

It's not like the Average Joe is going to get any of this technology. Whereas the billionaires and politicians will get to live longer and parasitize us even longer.

At a guess? Given doomposting really took off with the pandemic, I suspect it's a cultural reckoning with untreated mental health issues and a lack of decent coping mechanisms. It's not even just the pandemic, these rates have been rising for a decade or more, I suspect we're going to find out something like a common type of plastic causes mental health issues (among other things - the same diet these days has different effects, which implies it's more than that).
