    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.

    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.

      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?

      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.

      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.

          On a somehow related note, I just remembered this memory of me burning DBAN to a CD-ROM as a kid, and drawing a skull head on the disc to warn about its dangers!

          I don’t exactly remember actually using DBAN back then. Though, I remember changing a forgotten Windows user password more than once by booting from some disc I had burned too, but I don’t think that was a DBAN feature?
