People do not develop interests in chronological lockstep with each other. Consider that there may be a pool of people who do not develop interests in mathematics or science until their late 20s, at which point they rationally decide it is too late to make a career of it. Increased longevity would open that pool of creative thought.

A corollary to that: removing time constraints would allow people to engage with a much broader range of experiences in a very deep way, possibly enhancing creativity and cross-fertilization of ideas.
