Well I think in 1000 years "everyone" in the sense of "most people" simply won't care just as much as most people in the world of today don't really care about history that happened before WW1, if we are in the lucky position that we can afford to care about history.

If you replace "everyone" with "historians" and/or "1000 years" with "100 years" or "the future" (and gave it a better op), you would probably be a lot closer to getting the response I assume you wanted.


Historians are by no means immune to the popular poison of personal projection. The historians who are capable of liberating their judgements from the mental limitations of their age are always going to be a precious minority. Tocqueville knew this when he gave a fairly accurate portrayal of the Democratic Historian in Democracy Book II.

Hark! TL.net! He is speaking to you!

M. de Lafayette says somewhere in his "Memoirs" that the exaggerated system of general causes affords surprising consolations to second-rate statesmen. I will add, that its effects are not less consolatory to second-rate historians; it can always furnish a few mighty reasons to extricate them from the most difficult part of their work, and it indulges the indolence or incapacity of their minds, whilst it confers upon them the honors of deep thinking.


What will historians think of us 1000 years from now? It takes a prophet to know.

It is actually a very interesting question to ask, however the answer is defined by the assumption where we will be in 1000 years from now. The possibilities range from nuclear wasteland without any life whatsoever over faschist world ruling regime to space civilisation, heck it may even be possible that the only humans in 1000 years are refugees that fled the planet from some sort of defining catastrophy.
It gets a lot easier when you just assume that the people in 1000 years are in a position to care about what happened in the 21st century. That would mean no major wars between about 2500-3000, since they would put civilisation in a position where ppl. are too busy rebuilding to care about the past.
IF there is a big war between now and aproximately 2500, there will probably be very little information that survives (I am thinking of nuclear dimensions if I say major wars ofc.) and the information that DOES survive would define the viev of our age. On the other hand, if there WAS such a big war, most people wouldnt even bother too much with what happened far earlier.
The second scenario - no big wars - is almost impossible to predict. What you have to keep in mind though is that their viev of us would be FUNDAMENTALLY different since we store and collect information in dimensions that have been unimaginable even 5 years earlier, making the viev they might have on us probably much more accurate, if they bother to look at us.
They may very well not. If they do, they can almost reconstruct everything from our age. What is much more likely is that everyone will know a little bit about us, and we will probably be summed up as the age of exploding technological growth, information and resource anahilation.

Edit: Resourche anahilation <--- This.

Closing this topic based upon the shitty OP. An hour ago he was PMed and told that while it was an interesting subject the OP needed work. He failed to edit it or respond so here we are. However if anyone in the topic would like to continue it then PM me with your proposed first post and I'll reopen it and edit his out and yours in.

The fact that I rewrote the OP aside, I have exclusive evidence from 2009 of how we will be remembered.

It was recently observed by the space telescope "Hobby-Eberly" in Mt. Fowlkes, Texas, that there is indeed a new form of life living under the surface of the moon whose sole and only purpose is to plan a huge invasion on the earth right before the release of StarCraft 2.

Majorly they will laugh about us because we had religions and believed in things that obviously were never existing.

Natural selection will sort these people out soon enough (so I hope). (Countries like germany will be 99% religion free in <50 years, whereas muslim countries have a very long road to travel (>1000years imo) cause they live culturally in the middle ages right now. and that took 1000 years to move on, in the western world as well

why do people think religion will no longer exist? Billions of people their lives are based around religion. the west only makes up a small part of the worlds population (and will shrink dramatically over the next century)

I wonder, if digitalized images survive, what we'll be remembered by. Maybe Times Picture of the Year. Maybe the atomic bomb. Or maybe a cat picture.

(If I'm to give an honest answer, that is how we will be remembered. Automated machinery, electronics, early robotics and most importantly, nuclear fission.)

billions of people without proper education you mean. Education will rise as time moves on, and therefore religion will vanish

They will look back and laugh at abject atheism, unable to comprehend the self-righteous rationalism needed to judge the interior lives of others

That's pretty fucking bigoted to assume spirituality and common belief equates to stupidity. Even if half of all people who practiced religion were stupid it would still be stereotyping billions of people.

Wait, what? You're telling me future generations won't think exactly like I do only more so? But I'm so rational and educated!
If it were not so, I would have told you.

Care to clarify? Do you mean our current practice of religion, and the religions that exist, or the idea of 'god'?

I don't know why would such a society look down upon religious people, inteligent design as a theory is an interesting concept and can be explored intellectually imo.

I presume the people of future will look upon us as we look on those before us. Certain individual achievements will be praised but as a whole we'll probably be criticized.

I don't know but it probably won't be a very positive opinion.
