Oh definitely. And we should also recognize maturation and decay as part of the life journey of living things. And to extend that metaphor, the continuation of the individual in its offspring, and also in other organisms that thrive when it decays.
Not to say that we should compare a complex adaptive system like a human society to a single organism, but if we’re going to, it might be useful to look at the many causes of death historical societies have faced, and how decay may contribute to growth of other things?
