Nah. The thought of being ruled over by a cabal of ageless billionaires offering to resettle you on some poorly managed terraforming project that will take centuries to complete and utterly negate the value of your increased longevity makes me long for the dirt nap as a better alternative when the time comes.
And I say that as a 1%er who will choose instead to redistribute my wealth in a final decade of hedonistic YOLOing to the same people who will end up the subjects of this dystopic narcissist oligarchy. You want to be a fungible pair of hands with a longer lifespan because it's cheaper to use disposable fungible you than an expensive heavier to lift out of a gravity well robot? You do you and I'll do me.
Sounds like you have some resources. Maybe go offline for a few months and get centered. If you’re in the US there are folks in Kentucky that could use those fungible hands of yours to help unwreck their shit from some major tornadoes. Running a chainsaw and shovel all day can be calibrating.
For now I make charitable donations, a lot of them. It's amazing how much we could do to elevate people up Maslow's hierarchy if we made that a priority. And Kentucky might even be a great idea if we didn't have such divergent politics over the pandemic.
But you're absolutely right about chainsaws and shovels though. Wielding power tools and long walks with my dog are the best form of therapy I've ever encountered.
Your scenario is nothing more than a thought experiment. You can think of a different future anytime you want. You can imagine some colonists will form the utopia of our dreams.
It's a thought experiment based on the way our current three comma overlords treat their minions. What makes you think taking that mindset into space will go any better?
And at what point do you think space travel will become a commodity to enable those colonists to form that utopia without owing one of these tyrants something big?
It doesn't take a lot of inequality to start rolling down the hill to dystopia. Play around with Markov processes and find out for yourself.
