Will lack of education, no desire to better ones self beyond an easy, comfortable existence (relative to individuals of course), entitlement mentality with no productive input to society, corrupt politicians, and other types of resource depletion always be a stumbling block to our longevity (in terms of affordable healthcare and research)?
How did longevity become a goal?
Being old is not that great.
It is if you can reverse the bad effects of aging.
Who cares? We're gonna live forever.
But will hammer have the good things we have here in heaven? Will it be better? Will it be just like the Garden of Eden but bigger, with gold streets, and in a giant cube (last one sounds like the Bog to me) and praising God forever and doing nothing else?
We are also saving treasures for ourselves in Heaven.
Okay, I agree with your post but this part in particular I've been wondering about...
When it comes to people spending so much time on the internet (as have I for the past several years) I'm not sure how well all of this spent time is supposed to translate into treasures in heaven. For all I know, all that time spent watching youtube videos and learning about the world could turn out to be in vain, and when I get to judgement the Lord might shake his head in disapprove that I squandered the time on earth granted to me. I feel like a lot of people would be in this position as well, and it's kinda depressing in a way.
It's not about going to church or preaching the Gospel all the time, but rather we are to do the things that edifies us as His children. We must focus on the eternal, not the things of this world. We must be ready when He comes back to bring us to Him.
Right. I could probably imagine, but could I bother you for some examples? Just to jump-start my brain right now. Dreary weekend and all that.

Do you have enough savings for an eternal life on earth?
If so, are you single? I guess I can wait till you are.

You can reach billions of people via the internet.
It revolutionizes evangelism.
Being old isn't the same as being young, but it can be pretty good. I have had some bumps health wise but I'm in pretty good shape for my age (77 next month). I still do the things I enjoy; hunting, fishing, bowling, cutting wood. I just finished assembling a complete woodshop (for the first time ever) and have projects that will keep me busy for some time. Life is good.
And 50% of fertilized eggs are naturally aborted.
Where is the outrage over the loss of woodshops?
