Any other questions about death?
Yeah, what is the purpose of death anyway? I get that overpopulation is bad, but then why not just have a steady population?
Death is just as important as life. Without death the world would be much more resiliant to change.
Why is that?
That's because death makes people DO things. If people have the knowledge that their time on the world is short there is a bigger chance to get active!
I see. So all of the lazy people doing nothing should be motivated to act given their short lifespan.
