We'd all eventually die of dumb accidents. You can't be lucky forever!

People would get wiser, but at what age do you stop the aging process? What would be the optimum age of maturity?
If man lived forever we would die from starvation, food and water would be valued higher than silver and gold.
I'm sure each country would try to expand and fight for more land to farm.
Reproduction could be outlawed or closely monitored (lottery, license ext)
If the earth is round, we would have to leave earth and terraform another planet or find another one to populate.
If the earth is flat we would be stuck here and find a way to survive and feed an endless population.
Lots of different outcomes.
Also being that our bodies wore out but never aged, our bodies would slowly be replaced by synthetic joints, hips ext. just because we no longer aged doesn't mean we couldn't wear out body parts. That scenario could lead to trying to "upgrade" the human body and eventually we become a Society of borgs lol.

I'm over 70 and I can't imagine living forever, nor would I want to.

As long as the aches and pains don't get any worse, I'm in!
And Kubota would have to upgrade their warranty plans.

I think we'd die from boredom. My grandfather lived to be 108 and was driving at 105. But by that age you've seen every sports last min win, every conceivable movie plot, every song cord progression, every novel story line. "been there, done that". That is why to young kids everything is new.
The most recent issue of National Geographic had an artical on Geniuses. They all had a peak creative time. I think we all burn out
