I'm not sure 'meta-person' makes much sense. 'Meta-data' is data about data, but what's a meta-person? A person composed of other people? Would such a person-made-of-people have free will, or would its actions be constrained by majority groupthink outcomes? In the case of today's corporations, it's just the executive board (selected by the shareholders) that makes the decisions, with no input from the employees except in places like Germany where labor unions often have board seats. Meta-executive, perhaps? Interestingly, if corporations are people, do states in the USA with the death penalty have the right to dissolve corporations that commit murder? How would a corporation be incarcerated for a crime like bank robbery, what would a prison for corporations look like? It's hard to conclude that corporate personhood is just a convenient legal fiction whose true intent is to expand the liability protection for shareholders and protect internal corporate documents from legal discovery and so on. |
