On being remembered

Benjamin Franklin once wrote, “If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.”

But how do you write things worth reading in a world where so few people are reading anymore?

Most of what is on the Internet is video and garbage. It’s not worth watching. Yet that’s the medium that we consume. 

Perhaps the modern equivalent is to do things worth making a TikTok reel about.

Old Ben must be rolling in his grave.
