Sure, if people get stuck in their ways forever. But what if they don't?

If we can solve longevity, we might also be able to "solve" brain plasticity, therapy, psychology, sociology, etc., such that people's beliefs will be more flexible and people's minds more open.

I think it is incorrect to assume that we would solve biology while all of the fields researching the health of the mind made little progress.

We shouldn't imagine the future as being like today, only different in a few key ways - this is the trap of sci-fi authors. The future will be different in more ways than we expect. We might well fix 'old people are stuck in their ways' before we fix longevity.
