Plus on average you're so far removed from about... the 3rd generation of descendants that it doesn't really matter.
Nobody should leave their descendants that much wealth that:
1. they don't need to be productive themselves
2. that the initial wealth has a higher than 1% chance to pass to grandkids
Each generation needs to earn their bread.
Baby boomers kind of didn't and look at what people are saying now.
