Do you think humans live too long, or not long enough?

[Dr.Destructo]

Think about it.

At this point in human evolution, it takes us about 50+ years of our lives to REALLY figure it all out. Well, as much as we are able.
We spend too much of our teen years being stupid. We spend most of our early adulthood being stupid and working to pay for being stupid.
Then once we get to retirement age, we either end up having to work until we die, or just hang around the house until we die.
And really, by the time we do figure it all out and how to REALLY make things better, its too late......we're worm food.

So......what if humans were able to extend life another 100 years? Would you take it? Would you use all you have learned to become the person you always wanted to be? Or do something exceptional with all those skills and knowledge aquired?
Do you think humans would be better off knowing they can literally spend half of their life figuring it all out before actually getting to LIVE the life you want?

Just a thought.

I plan on living for 1000 years. Just to piss off my wife.

If one can reduce glandular production fewer people would not suffer from being stupid.

I would prefer it if we only lived to 50 at best while we are still at our peak, living in a cave, cooking by fire, hunting big animals, wearing skins, warring with neighbor tribes for the best women until we finally weaken with age, and get eaten by a saber-toothed cat.

Solves all of humanities problems.
