"I don't think we should try to have people live for a really long time. That'd cause asphyxiation of society because the truth is, most people don't change their mind. They just die. So if they don't die, we will be stuck with old ideas and society wouldn't advance." — @elonmusk
We have quite a serious issue with gerontocracy, where the leaders of so many countries are extremely old. And it is just impossible to stay in touch with the people if you are many generations older than them.
For a good functioning democracy maximum age should be considered, the leaders must be reasonably in touch with the bulk of the population. @elonmusk
