I have posted the web address to a sound clip that is from the movie Troy with Brad Pitt as Achilles. In this very short sound bite, the conquering Greeks are approaching the beach of Troy. We all know that this goes down as the most famous war in the Greek mythology.
The reason I am posting this is because in one of the definitions of 'immortality' it is posed as enduring fame. We all know the mythological progression but I would like to emphasize that Achilles went to the city of Troy in seek of fame and subsequently immortality despite his certain death. I think this is a phenomenal representation of human will.
I thought of this as an excellent concluding blog post because we as a group may not have found immortality by posting pieces of our lives on the internet, but we most definitely created the POSSIBILITY of one day becoming famous in the eyes of our our species. Therefore, Project Immortal holds potential for absolute success. If only we were better at making ourselves famous forever....
Or if we were better at making ourselves famous now!
