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
If you’re #2 it helps to have a cool name. Otherwise I don’t think I’d know Buzz Aldrin.
Set your own goals, I’m in awe of people who’ve done magnificent things just for themselves.
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.
Check Twitter lately?
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.

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.
Yes. Even if you eat the Mona Lisa. The heat death gets everything in the end. Sorry, bubz.
Go go gadget Nihilism
BECOME IMMORTAL BY EATING THE LAST SUPPER
It’s gotta be good. They made it with tempura!
This was basically the plot of
Glass Onion
Eh, what good does it do to have strangers know my name? That’s just a couple bytes of information, not who I am.

I will be forgotten by the world, but eventually the universe will remember as I’m turned back into star stuff.
Good luck with that. LOL
This is probably a poor choice of words, but…“if hitler can do it, so can I in a non-genocidal way”
…eat the Mona Lisa?
I’d do it but actually succeed at the genocidal part
…on Nazis, right?
You don’t even need to eat all of it. Eyes or lips will do.
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…
