WYR: Live in a world where you work half as much as you do now, but your body will be used post death as an employee by whatever company buys it or live in the current world? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Just a lil dystopia-ish idea I had. Most people find dead bodies sacred or holy or taboo and just want it taken care of in the most customary way as quick as possible. So I wondered if people would be willing to lose that post death 'respect' for an easier life.

I don't want companies to be incentivized to create more dead people for free labor.

I choose current dystopia.

ok. I was going to say 100% yes. @snokenkeekaguard@lemmy.dbzer0.com any way to get a guarantee that they won't cause my death?

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Sure. Companies won't force it.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

ok given that for whatever reason they can't cause my death then totally I would take the deal. Im dead and a body is just a body. They can do all sorts of untoward things to it if they want.

Is the second choice implied? What am I missing?

Also, working half as much would still suck if it meant working every other day, or just half-days, because then you never really get a break.

Second choice is nothing changes. Just living in the current normal world

Secret third thing.

I'm a self employed artist, so you're saying I could double my output and make art after I die as a lich? I'm down.
