Well,?I always thought ?a bucket list is for what you’re? want to do before you die, not what you want someone else to do before you die.? So what his wife has is a dying wish.
Since he’s “aging” himself — why doesn’t he fulfill his own bucket list? Doesn’t he have one, too?? His wife could be dying – or?just died — ?and maybe she never got around to either creating or checking off her bucket list.? So she’s died with regrets for the life she didn’t live.? Which is a motivation for him to make his own, start checking it off:? get busy living — or get busy dying.? Live the remaining years with relish — not regret.
And what’s really at stake for him?? Ultimately, if he’s got to be doing it for himself — not for someone else — otherwise is false goal.
And why would the judge want him ejected?? On what pretext?

(Although, I suggest that the culprit?be a? popular,? seductive ?smart phone app rather than a defective OS).? But that needs to be stated with greater clarity.
And I think his other questions are pertinent.? And what does the hippy being self-righteous as a character flaw bring to the dramatic problem of the virus infection?? The character flaw should be?relevant?to the dramatic problem such that until the flaw is recognized and overcome, the character cannot solve the dramatic problem.? That’s the dramatic purpose of a character flaw , to create suspense,?doubt and uncertainty that the character can succeed.?How does being self-righteous make the hippy unable to cure the viral infection?
To repeat, I think the premise is a rough gem that needs a polish.
