    Few people left who remember me now already

    I’ll be forgotten once me, my wife, my family and my few friends die, so left say nobody will know me or my accomplishments 50 years from now, tops.

    yes, but only the biggest brightest bonfires.

    will charlie kirk be known? nah. will Donald Trump be known? absolutely.

    the bigger the bonfire, the more damaging it is to society.

      I barely think Trump will be remembered. In 600 years we’ll have a completely different economic/political system. I can’t image our quaint ideas of ‘nations’ lasting much longer. This economic/political system was a flash in the pan from just after the Napoleonic wars till about now. I’m not sure what will come soon, but we’ve been stuck with an antiquated system now for over 70years.

        ever heard of Genghis Khan? How about King Solomon? Judas ring a bell? Pharaoh Akhenaten?

        “But trump isn’t nearly as bad as half those people”

        Just wait. The worst is yet to come.

    I don’t really want to be remembered for generations, if I am that means that statistically I was a bastard

    Remember in what capacity? I don’t think any of our (users in this thread) names will be a part of conversation or on anyone’s mind in any meaningful capacity. I do believe that digital storage is getting better and that our names and information about us will still probably exist somewhere in 600 years. So maybe somewhere someone might see your name. But that’s very different than “remembering”, you know?

    I mean, I’m sure you can name a half dozen or so people from the 1400s. I highly doubt anyone will remember me personally as one of those half dozen people, but I’m fairly certain that with the advances in technology the average people of the year 2625 will be dimly aware of closer to a dozen people alive today.

    Not me.

    But from this echo chamber, it surely seems like the current us president will live in infamy. Think about online debates over who was worst president ever: now it’s clear. And if he truly is accelerating the fall of the American century, then yes, he’ll be taught about ins cho for centuries to come

    We’ll be all just data left. Unless someone really bored finds something amusing about certain data entry about somebody, no not really.

    Someone will be remembered. It’s very unlikely to be me, unless human lifespans get a lot longer, which TBF they probably will.

    Gorbachev will probably still be famous at some point after 3025, let alone 2625, although he might be forgotten and then popularised in between.

    I don’t want to brag, but I’ve made a meme or two that got dozens of up votes. It’s basically immortality. I’m sure there will be statues and monuments of me by then.

    Relative to a normal life, nobody knows me now… and with where and how I live that likely won’t change.

    So definitely not, aside from the unlikely event I could get my head preserved (likely questionable testing). Then again I know in all likelihood that wouldn’t work, so I’m not sure getting a mention in some niche Wikipedia article would be the same as being remembered.
