DEATH IS A SCAM

Death, as we know it, was never discovered — it was invented.
Invented to organize fear.
To justify power.
To protect reputations.
To control those who live by defining what it means to stop living.
Not a single part of a dead body leaves the planet.
But entire systems rise and thrive by pretending it vanishes.
They mourn not the person, but the disruption of order, ownership, and image.
Death is not the end of life —
it is the beginning of profit.

The trillions of microbes continue life elsewhere.

10. The same atoms in your body were once in dinosaurs, clouds, and stardust.
Death is merely a reshuffling of cosmic particles.
