Animals, people, companies, cultures and civilizations … they all have lifetimes and die.
For the aggregate organisations of people (companies etc), the interesting for us humans is to try to understand and perceive how and why this happens and in what part of their lifespans the organisations we relate to are. Because no matter how large the organisation, its life proceeds through the nature and actions of the people that are apart of it, where no doubt those actions and natures are in feedback loops with the nature and actions of the aggregate.

I agree with that perspective, and I’d argue you can view large human organizations as effectively metaorganisms that have their own lifecycle.
