Some "true friend" YOU are, William Shitner!

I don't think Nimoy would've wanted a charitable event to lose funding because of his funeral. Funerals are for the living to process grief , they are not for the dead (they are, well, dead after all).

You should not love the dead more than the living.

William Shatner is a transhumanist. I wouldn't be surprised if behind the scenes he was fighting post human corpse reanimation groups that are so prevalent in the transhumanist movement. If Nimoy gets reanimated, his popularity will rally support for mass reanimations.

So, he is a terrible friend because he does not have time to ritualistic make small talk over his old friend's corpse?

He still has the option for a shiva call

He's a shallow Hollywood actor, how disappointed can you be in his misbehavior ??

Obituaries are like constant pressure. Every few weeks someone good dies.

It's an odd custom when you think about it. We consume the arts and that is good, but that leaves us open to something like grief when the originator of the art dies. The more art we consume, the more we can be infected by grief. But, why is this condition forced on us? I believe that arts obituaries are emphasised more than the arts themselves. Death is the hook. At other times the element of controversy is the hook. What's important is that the spirit is degraded somehow.

Nimoy has been reanimated a lot of times if you think about it.

So he's unable to attend an event for a dead person due to doing something to help living people who are in need?
He truly is an awful man.
