In 2100 I will be 126 so I hope not. Not unless they have massively improved geriatric medicine.

But imagine a worst reality, what if they do invent immortality drugs, and then we're stuck with these idiots forever? What if it's just century after century of the flat Earth conspiracy theorists (despite us clearly having a moon colony) and Andrew Tate.

Your take is not the correct one, longevity treatments (immortality drugs isn't something that can be made) will roll back your physical age by reparing you. Not just forcing life to stay in a decaying body.

So at 126 you'll run around playing basketball and listening to heavy metal, if that's what you like.

Well you can give me a new heart but unless they do something about the brain there isn't any point.

The brain is "just" cells too, they regenerate and so forth. No specific problem keeping it in a young state.
