science and medicine mostly prolong life or save lives.
they can (in a very limited manner) help somewhat with tiredness at old age.
healthy brain function is not improved that much with the help of health industry.
and we need those who their thinking is not fossilized. I don’t mean that as insult, it is just they way of life.
as I said they can of course be advisers.
are you saying most 110 years old are capable of holding highest offices?
like house of representatives? they need to move alot and talk to alot of people.
it is very tiring.
if not at 110 then at some age most of us are not really gonna be great at those “jobs”.
and another side to my point is that old people are gonna set in their politics and also is they survive the politics circus (many many terms) then they become like a family so they are not gonna rock the boat, so they usually become THE status quo.
look at Bernie and his support for jewish isis.
also they are not really good at fixing new problems (or even old ones) with new tools.
I’m saying that all these things are not immutable laws in how humans will age, forever. Most especially related to things like both cognitive function, which is mostly what we are talking about, although the physical may have dramatic changes in the near horizon, too.
Just knowing how slow government tends to react to drastic changes in tech, I think putting an arbitrary age limit in right now is foolhardy, and besides, I think age is largely a gigantic distraction that has very very little to do with our current problems.
