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
I got two ads for Dominos before that video played. I'm not sure I consider that fine art.

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, chances 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?
Like what’s the name of the first person to make fire?
I'm pretty sure it's Steve.
Well it wasn't us. We didn't start it.
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, and truly appreciate your work.
Set your own goals, I'm in awe of people who've done magnificent things just for themselves.

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.
I'll overwrite you multiple times with random 0's and 1's if you'd like that?

And that's what makes shitposting grand.
Yes. Even if you eat the Mona Lisa. The heat death gets everything in the end. Sorry, bubz.

There was a guy in ancient Greece that burned down a famous temple for exactly that reason.
Never heard of him.
Fucking Greg.
There was a third guy on the first mission to the moon.
Michael Collins was the pilot, yes.
Why would I care about being remembered? I'll be dead.
Agreed I dont understand the pbsession with being remembered. I would rather be forgotten so no one has to mourn me
When I was a kid one of my goals in life became to be immortal. Not in like on sci-fi way of course. Still somewhat a goal of mine but not likely to achieve.

You don't even need to eat all of it. Eyes or lips will do.
This was basically the plot of
Glass Onion
BECOME IMMORTAL BY EATING THE LAST SUPPER
It's gotta be good. They made it with tempura!
Eh, what good does it do to have strangers know my name? That's just a couple bytes of information, not who I am.
Is this the guy who ate an airplane?
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 will be forgotten by the world, but eventually the universe will remember as I'm turned back into star stuff.
How would you do it, though? Do you sneak into the Louvre and snack on it slowly under cover of darkness? 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?
Dress up as a security guard first...
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.
I wanna enjoy the things out there and maybe make more things that other people can also enjoy too.
Might as well have fun c:
There are worse things people are remembered for. So sure go for it i would say :)
