The Inevitability of Death

The study of death is called Thanatology. There's a book that we're going to save you some time with. All all the things that the humans are doing is to distract themselves from the fact they will no longer be around. These days, most human beings do not simply cease to exist at the point of biological death. Back in the day for most of your human society, the vast majority of people died and remembered. But now as long as there is some idea or record of you that exist, so long as you are remembered, you will continue to affect the world.
