On a Gaming Podcast I listen to they have a deep question each week.
(On a side note the podcast is called 'Painkiller Already' and is more focussed on Call of Duty but they're still hilarious!)
So the question from last week was:
When you die, would you rather:
Be eternally hated, and go down in history as a complete dick head. Hate equal to that of Hitler- to the extent of people learning about you in school because you're so damn evil.
OR
Be forgotten by everyone, family, friends, EVERYONE! Not much more to say really, just gone, forgotten.
So what do you think; Hated or forgotten?
Also me know if you'd like me to post more of these questions.
Hope to hear from you.

I'd probably prefer to be forgotten since at least you get the chance to be liked while you're alive, when it actually matters.
Also you should probably at least give your own view in the OP...
|
I don't care, I'm dead you know ...
|
i would prefer to be hated but at least i was remembered
|
forgotten, but definitely some obstensibly hardcore people going to say they would like to be hated because at least people will remember them.
|
I suspect this thread will be both :p
|
Do not want responses in the sort of
''well I believe ''sad'' and ''hate'' are emotions that are made trough electrons in our brain and is totally moot as there is nothing sad with death as there is nothing after'' or other highly philosophical entries which really does not bring opinion forward.
And especially don't circumvent the whole question by going.. oh well they will just forget it anyway, that is just being a douche
if I had to choose I would choose haten, just because I am a rebell 8)

Hated
At least people will remember me, and I'm dead so I don't really care about that lol
|
The latter? I don't really understand why anyone would choose the former option. Are people really that uncomfortable with the idea of death that they would rather be "immortalized" by a reputation of extreme megadickery?
Everyone will be forgotten eventually. You, your family, your friends, everyone that knew them, everyone that knew any of those people, everyone. Nothing lasts forever. That means you should value those transient things all the more, not try to force them to last longer.

Who cares, you're dead. In fantasy land who knows.
|
If you believe that information can never be destroyed, then it doesn't matter either way because you're not ever actually forgotten to the actual universe itself.
thousands of years in the future when they have their past-rematerializer it won't matter.
Plus our conception of history and of the present is contingent and ever changing-- even Hitler may not be remembered with hate in 1,000 years.
So I guess I don't care.
|
Really won't care because I will be dead -_-. I guess I would choose to be forgotten because I wouldnt do anything in life to be hated by all.
|
Definatley Hated because that would mean people would still talk about me and it would cause endless of debates and I would be so hated kids in school would have to do homeworks and have tests about me what i did and i would be featured on documentary on Discovery Channel "History"
|
Preferably hated because like all humans I am frightened by the spectre of mortality and will strive to find a way to circumvent it, at any cost.
|
probably hated, all bad conquerors are hated and well known through ages  . but not as equal as hitler =( thats bad.

I'd say hated for the sole reason that my idea united the world under one rule, one system then set the Earths sights to the stars and setup a massive colonial program that shipped out colonists to the Moon, Mars etc.
That and the massive ships that were required for such missions took their toll when being built in terms of money, material, and massive amount of life which I obtained through forced labor.

Probably forgotten, but it depends what I'm hated for really...

Nobody said you couldn't be liked while you were alive, just that you'd be hated while you were dead.

So you mean like ordering a holocaust on your deathbed or something for the hell of it?
