1st

neither

I wouldn’t wanna be known as the person who invented cigarettes.

That's the first one, of course.. As I do take pride in stuff like that, which in turn makes me really happy.

Buut, how about you?
I've somehow noticed that you are asking the question, but haven't provided the answer so far.

becoming anonymous to history is more likely to me

Imagine being the guy who discovered gunpowder.

“The guy who discovered gunpowder burnt his eyebrows. This giving him the nickname no brows.”

The second one. What could possibly go wrong?

Certainly don't want fame, so option one it is.

2nd - I like good stories

I have no particularly strong preference. I can't know without knowing what it is I made, or if I'm misrepresented favorably or unfavorably.

It probably is worth noting that every historical figure is probably misrepresented to some extent, one way or the other. It is not as if we have video footage recording their entire lives, and you know the old saying: History is rewritten by the victors.

i was tragically born without a personality and therefore do not get to make decisions. but, i suppose if something i made was useful, like a well or a bridge, then that would be preferable to having endless stories told about how i was such a great bowler, or that i banned socks.

First one. I don't need recognition.

have something you made last for generations, but you are anonymous to history

or

have your name be remembered forever, but everyone misrepresents who you were?
:feeling:

Option 1 of course! Besides no one learns from history, so why name me at all?
