In general, people have a somewhat ok understanding of how their grandparents lived, and they might know a few stories about their great-grandparents, maybe one more generation after that, but that where it ends and where history books with dates and numbers begin.
That’s where you get statements like “In the past people did/believed/were like/… X” from. No, your grandparents did/believed/were like/… X, not all people in the past.
There is just about zero chance that those changes would filter down to the masses, so hopefully that doesn’t happen. I don’t want billionaires to live forever, that would be some real life vampire shit.
