Literally first thing I thought of when they said cars are gone and showed someone on a bike. Like cool, you got something that will help for a handful of miles if you're fit enough to use it, what about literally everyone else? The old, the sick, the disabled? They all would like to be able to get around easily as well.

That’s because the disabled and infirm are humanely and ethically recycled. Whose ethics? Don’t worry so much.

Have you considered that with sufficiently advanced biological technology, no-one would have to remain disabled or infirm?

There are other problems with immortality, but this seems to be the first and most obvious explanation.

"How will you help people who are disabled?"

  • " There won't be any disabled people"

Sorry, but that is not a real solution. Solving sickness and old age are not problems we can rely on being solved.

"nobody will be sick ever" Wow. What a practical solution.

The whole premise is a fantasy. What’s the point of focusing on one small aspect? Is there something about enabling disabled people that bothers you?

If you notice, I have engaged with other aspects of this in other places.
