The Horrible Paradox of Immortality

[james_davis_nicoll]

The first generation of immortals will be the one with no idea how to manage an immortal life and thanks to immortality, they will never go away. Since they are the oldest immortals, they may have a lock on running things.

Hrm. If only humans could alter their behavior in response to their environment.
Mind you, why should the people in charge change their behavior? They must know what they are doing or they wouldn't be running things.
