Comment on Do you think that there may be random internet posts from today that in the future may be seen on the same level as Plato or other great philosophers?

In the time of Plato, only the most educated could read and write. So if you could do both, I think your odds of being remembered had almost as much to do with writing good quality as it did with being lucky enough for your writing to survive centuries.

As for us…it will happen but only very rarely.
