Will a 1,000 Year Life Span For Humanity Create an Agrarian Society?

The question has been pondered throughout the ages. What would happen to human society and civilization if human life span were drastically increased? Would wars cease, would we become an agrarian society? This too has also been postulated by Sci Fi writers like Isaac Asimov and others and recently a brilliant thinker Brian furthers this line of thought with this question;

“Isn’t it likely that an extended life would inevitably lead to an agrarian society inevitably leading to a technological regression?”

Of course, likely is a problematic word, because we are taking the typical mindset of today and projecting it 100, 250, 500, 750 or even 1000 years into the future. And mind you with robotics, future tech, etc. who is to say that will not happen anyway; that is to say that humanity will eventually equal an agrarian society. Isn’t it somewhat of a goal of Utopia anyway? Is technology the ONLY goal of humankind; seems rather silly. The forward progression of the species taken to the ultimate would include such things as:

Peace Tranquility Free from Want A Pleasurable Life Experience Meaningful Challenges Sense of Purpose

So, one could conclude that increasing the life span of humans to 1,000 years could greatly increase the quality of life, decrease conflict and help innovation, while allowing for the ultimate Utopia to come forth and be enjoyed by all. Since bio-science is well on its way to bringing forth such a world, why not allow it now in the present period, so we can all look forward to enjoying future periods together. Think on this.
