And we never will be, because "adequate" is temporally relative. The poorest 3 billion live like kings from the Middle Ages in terms of disease, sanitation, et cetera.
Tomorrow we might discover how to double life expectancy…for the wealthy. And then how to upload our consciousness to pseudo-immortal machines…for the wealthy.
