What hubris. Every single human since the beginning of the universe has died. The greatest and noblest. Bach, Einstein, JFK. People who conquered the oceans, cured diseases or told stories that changed the lives of millions. Each one of them made room for the generation that came after. Just as those that came before had done for them. And this dude thinks he should exist forever. Narcissism on that scale would even make Trump blush.

Ten of Bach's children died before him, and the quadrupling of the world population over the last century suggests that there was plenty of room left without JFK or Einstein dying.

Room for new ideas and values and ways to understand the world.
