it's one of the things that the ancient culture of "gods" do. i feel a connection to that culture, when i read about it, i'm like "that's how it should be" honor the dead with a memory that will remain forever in the knowledge of the people who come after.

there is a literal meaning to "ascension" like that of Jesus and Enoch who were taken up, but there is also a figurative, honorific form that when you are gone that if you did something important in our life, that you will have a memory created in the culture to honor you. mind you, sometimes those are not very honorable. Like Phaeton or aka "The Son of Man" which was named after an asteroid that was involved in an event about 10000 years ago that scarred the land of north africa and the middle east, making them into deserts.

which is a funny name, but the word isn't strictly associated with Jesus anyway, it comes from a long time before that. probably another terrible tyrant considering that its appearance was that of a fiery dragon that ruined everything it passed.

Many good men aren't remembered at all while many poor examples of our species are praised.

I hope you are remembered in whichever way you hope. I personally don't care at all. The earth will change by my actions whether it's remembered or not.

a good culture would care

we live in a culture of madness and disease. and we should still remember it, if only as a warning to our descendants.

Oh, I dont mean to say history has no importance. But history is retold by the victors and reshaped to match their molds.... much like our religious texts.

I dont need my name associated with any of it.

that's the culture of evil, the rewriting of history. to fit the bloated sense of worthlessness of the psychopaths who arrange the misery of history to look like they did a good thing.

good people don't want to rewrite history because they want progress to better. only by forgetting the wrongful things of the past can you repeat them. so they maintain this permanent amnesia of culture in order to maintain the appearance of their right to power.

it is the last insult to all who come after.

The names of planets, stars, gods and places all change over time. Rewritten by the newest culture to take power.

We can call it evil if we want. If that makes us feel better... but it changes nothing.

If I remember correctly, even the Annunaki fought each other over petty differences (sex, birthright, etc.)

..

All historical names are temporary.
