Do you think anyone will be able to remember who any of us are in 600 years?

Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Sure, but what if the dead people are right? Statistically, they will be some share of the time.
The catch is that that goes for all the various disagreeing traditions. Putting priority on your own is sus.

Yeah, weird random chance makes a huge difference. Otzi was probably well known, but only hyper-regionally. Lucy was basically just an unusually smart animal, and that was millions of years ago.
And just because you're forgotten for a bit doesn't mean you won't come back into style.
Hmm. So if you want 15 minutes of fame a long time from now, what's some weird easter egg you can leave?

A time capsule with something that nobody else will think to preserve might do it. Way too many preserve things the future is actually meh about. I actually wonder if a weird data footprint might be even better at this point. Like, if you filled out some official form thousands of times just for fun, and someone a long time from now is doing analysis and turns it into a meme.

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

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.

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?

Why not? It has the thoughts, feelings, memories, and personality of a human. What else is a human? A physical body? Does, then, losong one's leg male one less human?

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.

I actually have a geneology book （族谱） from my paternal lineage (everybody does this in China). Its just a bunch of names, and some history of the village summarized. I hate tradition and I'm already in the US right now, I dont give a shit about the stupid geneology book anymore, my ancesters will probably be so pisses to find out that I totally ignored all the hard efforts lol. (My village still has a copy, but I'm not adding more name to the stupid thing, a waste of time, its also misogynistic AF, if there's a daugher, then the lineage doesn't record their decendents. So dumb, as I guy, I hate this patriarchal bullshit)
I think the opposite with happen with the same results. Everyone's DNA will be on the books. It'll be revealed that we're all related somehow. You'll be able to orient the database any way that you want to see how you're related.

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.

How much do you know about Francis II, that last Holy Roman Emperor? A few people read about him, but he’s not that common of a name.

I wonder who the last person will be that knows how to fix a dos machine.

doesn't matter if I know their claim to fame. it's about name recognition. at least that's all OP was asking for.
