Varieties of Immortality * 1
    #26682061 - 05/19/20 10:14 PM (3 years, 8 months ago)

Let's count the ways to leave behind a legacy:

Children

The Arts

Music

Literature

Sports

Politics

War/Conquest

Social Change

Exploration

Invention


I realize there are a zillions subcategories, but what major things or ways have I missed?

Is leaving something behind important to you?

I've never felt the need or desire to leave behind a legacy. Is this a personal flaw? I want to reach my goals and live a fulfilling life but I'm not going to be around after death anyway to see what people say about me. It's similar in my mind to the situation of wanting to kill yourself to spite your family - you're not going to be around for the satisfaction.

It's not something I've ever really deeply thought about though. I hope that when I die I will see that I did some good, maybe some bad, and I won't have too many regrets. I didn't even know that it was a thing people desired until a friend once said something about everyone wanting to leave behind some kind of legacy when we were teenagers.

Maybe it's a flaw, although I've never seen it that way. I like creating things - drawing, writing, painting - and I do get satisfaction when people like my stuff but as I said once I'm dead, who cares?

Seems to me most people settle,( or would settle for): getting rich, getting laid often, getting attention, being popular, then being famous, having power and or respect, -- somewhere, sometime if they take the time to think they might realize being kind, & friendly, have just a little importance. The poor would be glad just to have nutritious food, clean drinking water, & a safe shelter.

On the other end of the spectrum are those who won't settle for just a legacy & want
immortality, thru being frozen, or cryogenically frozen, sort of like the Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs hopes.

As they say: " it takes all kinds"... that's how it seems to me at the moment, but quite possibly, everyone may disagree.
It seems, lawyer types just like to win whatever the cost - neither immortality nor a legacy tempt them, hence the all the lawyer jokes.

An interesting question for you OC, is whether a genius like Robin Williams cared about a legacy? when push came to shove ... and what that might mean as regards a legacy vs. living an interesting life that enriched many others' lives. And whether one has any control over how others interpret one.

Follow Attaturk - force people into racial migrations - build 10 acre monument, mountain carved into your bust (head and shoulders no nipples) - erect statues of yourself etc.

Mummification, it ultimately falls short of the mark, but it does retard the decay & recycling process of form / the body to a degree - for a time.

Being immortal is for the birds.

I ain't no bird, foo'

Sounds like you need to drink more water.

As for OP list, how about becoming God?

Jesus Christ knew he was God. So wake up and find out eventually who you really are. In our culture, of course, they’ll say you’re crazy and you’re blasphemous, and they’ll either put you in jail or in a nut house (which is pretty much the same thing). However if you wake up in India and tell your friends and relations, ‘My goodness, I’ve just discovered that I’m God,’ they’ll laugh and say, ‘Oh, congratulations, at last you found out.'
~Alan Watts

I see five faces in that pic.

They all seem to display various levels of retardation.

I suppose they would have to, given the fact that much of the world is starving, and they are engaging in pointless gluttony.
