The most important difference between a person and corporate personhood is that the corporation can never ultimately produce anything of *value* in the purest sense. When a respected artist dies, or is “discovered” post-mortem, the value of the works they have produced skyrockets, and permanently so. This is because of the promise of limitation – supply can never again negotiate with demand. A corporation is incapable of producing anything irreplicable. Where the consequence of art is immortality, corporate works are doomed to obscurity and irrelevance. In contrast, each and every human is capable of creating art, and living on through it.
