  I don’t give a fuck about being remembered. I just wanna enjoy my time while I’m here.

  So far, it’s not going great.

    Have you considered eating a great work of art to pass the time?

      Doesn’t sound very enjoyable tbh

  It pains me that I probably never do something so important that I will be remembered.

  On there other hand, who was the right hand of Napoleon? Who decided the great pyramid should be build exactly there? What was the name of the guy who put the last stone in the Chinese wall? (Figurative speaking)

  So to be remembered you need:

  • do “great things” (not great specifically… You know what I mean)
  • be the number one (second places don’t count)
  • make such a major impact on the world that even after your society has collapsed, people still remember you.

  So the chances that I am in a position to do this would require some massive effort and even then, changers are slim…

  When I started typing this reply I was a bit depressed. Now I am finished it just highlights the importance of enjoying oneself while it lasts.

    I would be concerned if napoleon’s right hand didn’t belong to him

    Honestly it doesn’t even matter if you do an incredible thing, you’ll still be forgotten. Even somebody like Einstein will eventually be forgotten. Like what’s the name of the first person to make fire? And sure you can argue that we didn’t keep records back then like we do now right? Ok so whats the name of the first person to keep records?

      I’m pretty sure it’s Steve.

    If you’re #2 it helps to have a cool name. Otherwise I don’t think I’d know Buzz Aldrin.

    Mostly agree, but the right hand of Napoleon (and other “helpers” of the famous) is well remembered, just not by everybody.

    I have a training on mgmt. in a few weeks, and we are reading a case study on him, with a lot of names thrown around, including e.g. Berthier, his chief of staff.

    I’m just saying that you don’t have to be the one in the spotlight to make an impact, and be remembered - maybe it’s even better to stay in the shadows and only be remembered by those who actually know the topic.

    Your point with the “great” things is so true. All the “great” people of history that get remembered for a really long time are mostly some despots / royalty / tyrants that have done TERRIBLE things. Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Hannibal etc. and we now treat them like some super geniuses that built great empires. Some of them are even ‘worshipped’ in pop culture. Oh and yeah they killed a bunch of people but eh… price of being a great man I guess.

    I wonder if Hitler will ever be talked about like this.

  I want the peace of never having existed in the first place. So, being entirely forgotten is a second best kind of peace. Best one can get now.

  Fuck having my name remembered its long and semi pretentious. I just want to be rembered by my actions and hopefully the effect on the world, in the same way as the beserker bastard at Stanford bridge.

  I realized this when walking along Hollywood Boulevard. I didn’t think I had to go that far until I saw a star with a name I knew. Showed me that even if you are famous, it won’t take long until you are forgotten.

  There are only two ways to be remembered. First, alter the way of history in a significant way (or at least make everyone believe it’s because of you), or second, write a book with really good ideas. Arguably both are the same.

  How would you do it, though? Do you sneak into the Louvre and do it under cover of darkness in the Louvre? Is it a smash and grab in which you try to eat as many pieces as possible before you're shot? Are you taking the painting home with you to braise it in a nice osso buco?
