Many older people are very lonely. This could help a lot of people.

I'm not convinced wireheading the elderly is a good solution to their loneliness.

It doesn't have to be good. It just has to be better. What we do now is completely abandon and ignore most seniors. The bar is low.

Don't like it? What's your better solution? Are you going to do it?

If you have any ideas now's the time, this has been an unsolved problem for hundreds of years.

That's kind of like the joke about MAID solving the Canadian healthcare problems: I've heard you're ill; have you considered dying?
