Depends on the culture involved. Sure that might be true for the traditional human society but what about drow? Or dragonborn? Perhaps to them the dead are just objects with the souls having moved on. Or another niche group of humans. Even if you do something considered Taboo if you have good intentions you still are good aligned even if you are considered problematic
This brought up something interesting to me if you homebrew away from the D&D ruleset on lifespans and look at âimmortalâ races in classic fantasy, like the elves in Tolkienâs works.
So say your elves are similar to Tolkein elves, they donât age or sicken like the mortal races. The only way they die is if theyâre killed by violence. What would that do to a cultureâs view of death? Would they even have an afterlife or would this world be the only realm of existence to them?
Would they see an elfâs death as unnatural and âevilâ and thus celebrate necromancy as a way to restore what âshouldâ be? Would they see necromancers as cosmic gardeners ensuring that life is protected?
PS Tolkein fans: Iâm sure Iâve got a really shallow interpretation of his elves and thereâs loads more to say there but Iâm afraid I donât have the knowledge to go deeper. Just thought the concept was interesting. Please donât come after meeeee.
What about a society built on the expectation that the dead will serve the living? The body is seen as just a vessel for the soul, and upon death all people are reanimated and set to work doing menial tasks and freeing up others to work less and relax more. Utopia built on a foundation of necronauts, maintaining an army of tireless, fearless workers that perform all the basic tasks of civilized life.
The Labour leader warns about the rise of robots and suggests firms like Uber could be run as co-ops.
To prevent âthe rise of the robotsâ only benefitting âa powerful and wealthy fewâ, the report suggests âputting the ownership and control of the robots in the hands of those who work with them,â he will say.
âThe technology of the digital age should empower us both as workers and consumers, allowing us to co-operate on a scale in a way that wasnât possible in the past,â he will add.
âAnd yet too often it has given rein to a more rapacious and exploitative form of capitalism.â
Mr Corbyn will criticise the wages and conditions offered by the likes of cab-hailing app Uber and food delivery service Deliveroo.
Such companies say their drivers and riders are self-employed and therefore can work when they want - and in return for that flexibility they do not get the same benefits as full-time staff.
Mr Corbyn will say: âImagine an Uber run co-operatively by their drivers, collectively controlling their futures, agreeing their own pay and conditions, with profits shared or re-invested.
"The biggest obstacle to this is not technological, but a rigged economic system that favours wealth extractors not wealth creators.â
