In a word, DNA. I will not have left an earthly legacy. If The Shroomery survives me, my archived posts will have to suffice.

You dun spreaded hella good vibes though brother.
I reckon that counts for a lot more than another hungry mouth.

I realize there are a zillions subcategories, but what major things or ways have I missed?
Is leaving something behind important to you?
I have a funny feeling The Mighty SWAMI/OC delivers it all soon.

I'm kind of illiterate for the moment. Can you explain it more simple?

A momentarily illiterate deity prospect; well, there's nothing wrong with that. Given the 'last will be first' we might view babies with rattlers as the deadly rattlesnakes in the West that can only be gunned down if the baby believes guns are the answer to some of our problems in inter-personal relations.

I think the reality is that nothing is immortal, no matter how long we're able to string it out, via DNA or contribution or fame.
It's all just dust in the wind...
like tears... in the rain.

Yep, Kansas and Roy Batty knew what so many people deny with religious fervor.

Well, until we have this topic ironed out, here is a fortuitous video I was watching this morn about age reversal research:
This Harvard Professor Explains the Secret to Aging in Reverse | David Sinclair on Health Theory
In the scope of how much time is left for the universe, perhaps adding 30% more lifespan isn't enough.
Either that, or there was a really good episode on Adult Swim Sea Lab 2020 about putting your brain into a robot body.
Or just get resurrected in a new body on in an alternate dimension/plane of reality.
If not, I like the 60 acre monument and giant bust. Maybe if you build an obelisk out of stainless steel, engraved with your image and favorite posts, that would last a while... but to keep scrappers from looting your shrine you would have to make it non-recyclable...

I for one, would like a giant majestic tree that artfully expresses a loving depiction of the likeness of my atomic family. Espalierishly done, but mostly via controlled growth of the main trunk over time.

living backwards like Merlin sounds attractive in some way - I mean getting younger and finally slipping into something more comfortable.
