Why? I don't think you would be in any relevant position at all to care about a startup which is run by you in case you die. Your family can't run it, others

Why?
I don't think you would be in any relevant position at all to care about a startup which is run by you in case you die.
Your family can't run it, others can't just take it over and you are 6 feet under.
Get life insurance and stop worrying about this if you haven't brought the company far enough yet.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoOnce we are dead, our legacy is what is left of us. Since it all amounts to nothing, might as well try to make a dent in history. Maybe we'll be one of the ones people are still quoting two thousand years later without even realizing it ([... do]lorem ipsum dolor sit amet).

- altdataseller 4y agoNobody even thinks about your legacy after you’re dead. Nobody has that much time. They’re all worried about themselves.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoThen why are people like Steve Jobs held in such esteem?
- anoy8888 4y agoSteve who ?
- altdataseller 4y agoStevie Jobster I think his name is?
- marc_io 4y agoMost think that for a minute and then simply move on with their lives.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoReally? There are people who are vitually LARP:ing the man to this date, turtleneck and all.
- blitzar 4y agoCase and point - the greatest something of a generation: legacy - wearing a turtleneck.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoSure. I even started out by noting that Cicero has been reduced to "Lorem ipsum".
- blitzar 4y agoMcClintock first published his discovery in a 1994 letter to the editor of Before & After magazine, contesting the editor's earlier claim that Lorem ipsum held no meaning.

- Tretioh 4y agoPerhaps. Probably not.
- XCSme 4y agoI always think that in 300 years (probably even less) nothing that you did mattered and no one will remember who you were and what you did. Also, trying to do something "big" and change the world might lead to the opposite of what you tried to achieve, so trying to do something that will benefit the world in 1000 years for now doesn't really make any sense.
