head in the clouds

I've been struggling to put it into words and its.... still weird.

But I don't like this recent trend of holograms of people who are dead.

Its.... weird? It feels like... abuse of the dead? like they can't advocate for themselves?

Whats stopping someone from.... I dunno.

Bringing back a 'version' of Carrie Fisher and using her to sell products? With no thought to if she would have wanted that?

You don't have to pay the dead money, and it's very unlikely that a lot of people are going to have a clause in their will like "any use of my holographic version is limited to X" or something.

Like Frank Sinatra selling out a concert 50 years after his death. Would it be cool? YES.
