    I genuinely believe you’re underestimating how important legacy is to these people. These rich fucks donating to have anything built is to see their name in stone on the building facade. I think you’re dead wrong that they’d approach this any differently knowing they won’t live to reap their investment, they’ll do exactly that to immortalize their families.

      Interesting point. I can see it going both ways. They are fundamentally broken inside with greed and selfishness, but also obsessed with immortality and legacy like you said, so maybe a little of both?
