T-Rex: So, throughout time, people have spent their youth learning, and the time after that applying what they've learned. Not a bad system!

T-Rex: ... For a first try!

T-Rex: The problem is that we're spending longer and longer studying. If you do a PhD, you could be 30 years old when you graduate! And since there's so much to know about the world, people are forced to specialize. Even at 30, there just isn't enough time to learn it all!

Utahraptor: It's a necessary tradeoff! Millions of people specialize and make tiny contributions to knowledge.
T-Rex: It's true!

T-Rex: But what if it didn't have to be that way? If we lived forever, we could learn so much! We could make connections between completely unrelated fields.
Utahraptor: This is true, but the older generation would always remain! If they became stuck in their ways, they might inhibit progress instead of helping.

Narrator: MEANWHILE, IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE NOBODY EVER DIES:
T-Rex: Sure, borrow my four-seater rocket car whenever you want!
Off panel: Thanks man!
T-Rex: Hah hah! I'm totally glad I invented it.
