    No.

    Because history remembers people or groups who have made astounding and monumental moments that change the course of history.

    They aren’t going to remember a dude who spent most of their time jerking off and doing the average lifestyle.

    And why 600 years?

    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.

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

    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.

      If some people get their way, then Kirk will be remembered somewhat, like Franz Ferdinand.

      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.

            you have heard of them

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

              Without googling, can you tell me who Hideki Tojo is?

              It’s not that hard of a question and a lot of people willing know him, but unlike with say Hitler or Jesus, I also think there’s a lot who isn’t recognise the name at all.

              Ofc it’s probably not hard to guess the context here, but still. The point is about name recognition. I wonder how familiar the teenagers of today are with Reagan or Nixon. Clearly on a meme basis the names are still recognised. But in 100 years, after a half a dozen more Trumps?

              Prolly less so.

              Anyways I agree with the other guy that it’s completely possible if not likely history will have ignored Trump in 600 years time.

              But I guess none of us will be around to see that. Although I wouldn’t be 100% sure of that either.

    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

    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?

      We will live on in future LLMs, and possibly in the minds of AGI if that ever gets developed.
