That is one option. An immortal, all knowing citizen. Does that scare you? 😉

Not quite as much as Elon Musk...

 I think Elon is quite a nice guy as long as he doesn't see you as an enemy. ;) And you can always take comfort in his limited life span. ;)

The thing is, you don't reach that level of success without obsessing over money and power. It is a small internal psychological complex that was created in childhood, and propels the individual forward all his life. It is close to impossible to change this allconsuming drive yourself. You need deep psychological inspection if you want to change it in order to take it easy and enjoy life. Billionaires, for all their money and wealth, tend to work until they die. They know no other life.
When my mother died she asked me not to become like that, but to remember to enjoy life. I try to, sometimes I do succeed. ;) My wife forces me to travel, so I do work outside, in the sun for a couple of months per year.

 As for his "limited life-span", well, we'll

 years on eh ?  :-)

 Hmmm ... 'e-Lon' forever ?

This could be the truth! Let's see what medical progress brings us the next 50 years or so.
