When you pass away from this life and into the next, what do you want your friends, family, or the world to remember about? What do you want your legacy t o be?

Well, presumably I'm either going to be cryonically preserved and then made in to a cyborg or successfully achieve it before I die, so I guess I'll be able to see my own legacy after the fact. I'm not too keen on the first one since it would be a lot more expensive, but that's the price you pay to kick ass.

Now if something random were to happen like being totally physically destroyed or launched in to the sun and I couldn't be brought back (and I've got plans for this too, it would just require me not dying in this manner in the next 20-30 years), I guess I'd go down as a somewhat wealthy VC with a bunch of cool technology and the best internet connection in the United States.

My relatives might think I'm a bit of a bastard for willing my assets to myself, but you know if I'm coming back, I want my stuff.

That I was a decent enough guy that made them laugh from time to time. That and if I can open a few people's mind to different opinions or views that would be good too.

I'll want to have not messed up people's lives, and I'm not wholly concerned about what people think about me. As long as they're okay, I'm okay with whatever I leave behind.

I'd like it if they said, "That guy was alright to hang out with from time to time."

I have no idea.

Truthfully and thoroughly, I guess.

I would want them to remember me as someone who was fun to be around and would never screw them over even if I was desperate.

Yeah, well, I'll have the best internet connection in Canada. Hopefully by that time Canada's ISP get off their asses and stop providing among the worst connections in the developed world.

I want to be remembered for reminding the world of something very important. Something it seems, its forgotten.

Here are my humble ambitions:

to end all war for all time

to make poverty history

to win the world's people for God

to harmonise human existence with the environment

Personally, I'd like to be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.

Then you might want to destroy all of your art work before the art museums get their hands on em.

Why the hidden text?
And what was it anyway?

Anyway...
I want my legacy to be a mathematical breakthrough. I want to have achieved the one thing that will make my name immortal, the one thing which will ensure my name is never forgotten. Physical theories come and go, but a mathematical proof is forever.

We remember Pythagoras over two thousand years after his death. Will that also be true of even Einstein?
I doubt it.

Will it be true of any person who achieves a breakthrough in the realm of mathematics?
I'm absolutely certain.

Good point... although my thoughts were more along the line that I don't want people who love me to remember me too long, it might be painful for them..

I want people to remember that I was a good guy, and respect me.

Impossible.

Your art will live forever.

Paints? Hell no, I´m talking about blowjobs.

I intend to leave a legacy that all shall remember. I shall end unemployment in Canada by using surplus labour to build a city entirely of Lego. Mock me if you will, but the incredible awesomeness of a city of lego will pay for itself, not to mention the buzzing economy that total employment will create. It may require massive budget deficits, but the prestige we shall gain will be well worth it.

Indeed, you may call it my Lego-cy.

My legacy shall be the considerable mess left by my corpse, and my stipulation in my will that I'll have to be put back together at my family's expense, stuffed and put on display in my favourite chair.
