Intresting concept. Although it holds some intresting insights. I have to disagree.

I do not believe it is Death that drives us.

The human condition is a complex one. But the basic premisis is surival. Way back when there where cavemen. People got along find. They did not think about god or stuff like that. Ok maybe they did. But it was not important. The most important factor to the group.Was to survive.

When the first groups of cavemen meet. They may have form a terriotly bounder. But in gerenal they helped each other. Because survival was hard.

As these people progressed through the ages. Survuval became easier. Which meant they could spend more time on thinking new concepts. Better survival, technology and burial rites.

Even further along in the time line. Survuval has become. A non issue. All gruops are a raging sucess. So much so, that resources become limited. Then you have your first conflict.

Now if you continue building this logic up. To mordern day. Then you can see the first conflicts where over resources, then technology/ideas, then ego/technology/ideas/Religon.

Greed and so on.
