If that was indeed what you meant, you did a
really bad job explaining.
I get the feeling that you simply devalue digital possessions, and assume anyone who has a lot of digital possessions
- has not left anything else
- had a meaningless life, Just Because. I guess the value of a person's life is defined by how much physical-as-opposed-to-digital possessions they leave behind.

And your logical fallacy of the day is... the fallacy of judgmental language! |
... because you seem to have specifically used language designed to mock anyone with a "meaningless life" in order to lend support for your assertion that no one should care what happens to their digital property when they die.
I would think it reasonable that people care just as much regardless of what specific type of property they wish to pass on (possibly lots of both
).
