The only issue is if expensive telomerase therapies actually work and cause rich Silents to live indefinitely. Then we'll live in an indefinite crisis. Oh joy.
On the other hand, another Adaptive generation will define itself after the Crisis is over. I can easily see this Crisis Era coming to an end, and it will end swiftly with the establishment of rigid norms that people break at risk of contempt, failure, or at least frustration. <...

We're already at this point, with the way that misogyny, racism and homophobia are punished on social media. Even a hint of wrongdoing can ruin a person's life.
OTOH, sometimes the radical left acts like a circular firing squad. Google it, it's fun.
