Famous now, or later? - 07-15-03

If you had the choice would you rather be famous in your life, lots of wealth & riches, but forgotten once you die?

~or~

Would you rather not be known while alive, but after death be known for generations leaving your family and ancestors with great wealth?

Famous while still alive. I dont intend to have any direct decendants and am not really close to most of my family.


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

Can I get the option I don't want to be famous? If no, then after death.


I want to live in a world of peace
Without conflict, like the one I’ve seen in my dreams.
I just can’t keep it inside
I’ve gotta say what I wanna say
Your face doesn’t show your fighting pose.

my take on the subject is that our time here is limited...in the end it doesnt matter so much what you have accumulated....thus i prefer to leave a legacy behind so i will always be remembered

if i was to be famous, which i really dont want, i would rather be in my life time so i could experience it first hand. It would give my life meaning so that i would not feel quite so miniscule. of course, it all depends on what kind of fame it is.


I have nothing to say and I'm saying it

That's an interesting question . . . I think I would prefer to be famous after death.

I'd rather be famous now and forgotten when I die. Besides, I don't care if most people won't remember me, as long as my friend's and family remember me, screw everyone else.

Now. No reason why I can't leave the money to someone else after I die. Besides, with all the fame that goes with fortune these days, it'll give me an excuse to build a private estate with high walls, and motion sensors, and attack geese.

I would probably make a total mess of things if I was left in charge of any amount of money, so I'd leave it to my family and descendants in the hope that maybe some of them could do something good with it. Like Christopher Tolkien, or...I guess the only real example I can think of is Christopher Tolkien, but something like that.


When people talk of the freedom of writing, speaking or thinking I cannot choose but laugh. No such thing ever existed. No such thing now exists; but I hope it will exist. But it must be hundreds of years after you and I shall write and speak no more.

- John Adams

lol... arsinik.. i myself wish a legacy... money would make me no more or less a freak or play into my level of happiness... but to be remembered and to know my children would be taken care of would please me.


I need more money and power, and less shit from you people!
