Community
- Advantage: Strong continuity of skills, memory and relationships — immortal members can accumulate expertise and mentor generations, preserving institutions and cultural knowledge.
- Disadvantage: Social stagnation and entrenched power — long-lived individuals can block turnover, innovation and social mobility, making the community rigid and unequal.

World
- Advantage: Ability to undertake true multi-century projects and stewardship — immortals could sustain long-term endeavors (space colonization, complex science, cultural works) and provide consistent leadership for global problems.
- Disadvantage: Severe demographic, resource and inequality pressures — widespread immortality risks overpopulation and environmental strain, and if access is unequal it can entrench global hierarchies and trigger conflict.
