Well you also jumped to conclusions regards parrots,we all jump to conclusions too often on message boards.
Regards,the who will be remembered in the future debate,for example
Pele versus Einstein,from Einstein's point of view he would consider the question to be pointless,and not worse discussion.Why?
Einstein wrote a remarkable essay,in the late 40s,it really was an essay in despair regards the world and self flagellation of himself.
Einstein as we know,while believing in a divinity nonetheless believed firmly that there is no afterlife,quite,simply to die is
total extinction,to be nada,nothing,no thing--obliteration.
In this essay I speak of he states that his drive for earth-shaking discovery was an act of cowardice.
He boldly states that his all consuming drive to be great and renowned and unforgettable was predicated on his own desperate fear of death.
That his drive to be an "earthshaker" was fixed in the notion that
somehow by reaching an unforgettable status he would grab hold of immortality.
And as futurist,he was a pessimist,as he mistrusted the forces of
progress in itself,it was again,to him,just the meaningless rat-race
of mankind trying to establish they weren't like everything all going into
the abyss of nothingness.
I do NOT say whether I concur with Einstein's view,I only throw this out to give one of the most "unforgettable" persons view of this status,"unforgettable" Max90
