For example, an investor-agent that perpetuates your investment philosophy after you are dead. In this view, the design of the after-life agent is really the main act, with the life being the startup phase, devoted to perfecting a highly survivable investment philosophy before death-time. This is like the sea squirt: a creature that swims around when young until it finds a good rock to anchor itself to, and then eats its own brain, turning into something more like a plant in a personalized heaven.
