This comes in response to news that I’ve heard of recently. Goes to show if you value your posthumous requests, organize them wisely.
The concept we generally call “dying wishes” are a staple in how we think of society. Just look to the ancient play Antigone for that. However, things don’t always go as planned, especially in the wrong hands. What’s the biggest difference you’ve seen between someone’s “dying wishes” and what actually ended up happening?
[off topic?]
Ray Bradbury was a staunch anti-fascist. However, he had a beef with Pres. Obama because there were no major US space missions while Obama was in office.
After Bradbury died, Right Wing folks tried to paint him as a life-long GOP based on a few out of context quotes.
I don’t blame anyone for wanting to claim Bradbury.
But yeah, I found all his writings progressive for their publication date.
Anytime a conservative claims a progressive science fiction classic supports their politics, it suggests to me that that particular conservative doesn’t read much. Lol.
I think I may have heard about that. Being quick to assume things like that sadly seems to be the default mindset.
I’m not saying it’s exactly embraced, but you’re not unique in that regard right now, in fact you’re the most on topic.
I thought it might be off topic because it didn’t specifically deal with a will or written legacy.
Thanks.
