    Yeah In Time (2011) was there my brain went with the no death thing.

    I only saw the trailer, but my mind went to a future state where we solved aging, illness, disease and the like with technology / medicines.

    So we change our current culture to conform to that. Including late stage capitalism and the owning class.

    Verses everyone STARTING immortal. Its an even playing field since the starting lines are closer together. You don’t have generational wealth with people being born into wealth over and over at the same scale.

    The head of the family that actually pulled themselves up from the bootstraps could still be alive and have the same core values of taking care of their workers. Instead of being dead and gone for 3 generations and enshittification takes root.

      In time only solved ageing, everyone was still mortal, so you could still die from a car crash or being shot. And there definitely was a tiered classes system in place, with the rich having more “life”, and the poor literally living paycheck to paycheck.

      I really liked it, should watch it again.

        Yeah that’s my point.

        If we had the tech from In Time but everyone would get infinate lifespan, but you can still die.

        To the OPs title. Everyone has immortality and can’t die ever.
