He suffers from the curse of the mixed race - too black for some, not black enough for others.
He isn’t well known. The stage play only uses the name. The real Macbeth was considered a wise and good king who ruled for many years.
Isn’t the Anti-Christ meant to be doing his stuff nowadays? Surely he’ll be bigger than Elvis when he reveals himself.
Uh, hey… you got a little brown… something. Right there… on your nose. :rolleyes: 
Well, he was raised by his white relatives in Asia and Hawaii. When a guy with two black parents and raised around other black people becomes President, then he’ll be counted as the first black president.
He’s not too popular amongst some segments inthe UK, but his image, following and reputation has expanded beyond V for Vendetta
In 1000 years I doubt it will be his background that is remembered. It will be his skin colour, if anything.
For that matter, looking at any black person and saying he’s not really black is racism, pure and simple.
Please take the “Is Obama black?” debate elsewhere.
Thank you.
i was commenting more on the positive connotations of his image and reputation. V4V is the only positive depiction of Guy Fawkes in any capacity that I know of. Well, now it’s V for V and some… anarchist groups in the UK? or are they fundamentalist groups?
Well, they are definately not fundamentalists, they are anarchists and freedom-activists.
In 1000 years everyone will have the moral equivalent of wikipaedia directly interfaced with their brain, thus giving them immediate access to everything about everything. Therefore, everyone alive today who shows up in some kind of electronic record will be within the common knowledge of everyone on the planet. And we will haunt them, forever.

Didn’t he also prove, as part of the Fermat proof, the Taniyama-Shimura Conjecture, which connects topology to number theory? I am not a mathematician, but I think this was the truly important part of Wiles’ work.
i don’t mean to derail, and i’m not a mathematician either (far from it) but… that couldn’t have been fermat’s proof that he was too busy to scribble down right? do mathematicians believe a simpler proof still exists out there?
As a digital analogue, of course. Or possibly as an analog analogue.
Mathematicians generally believe Fermat must have made a mistake, and probably even realized it at some point after his initial note (so he never bothered announcing what the mistaken proof was).
As for whether a simpler proof exists, well, who knows? So far as I’m aware, there’s no reason to believe there is (except insofar as the techniques behind Wiles’ proof will surely become better known and streamlined in the future), but there’s no reason to believe it impossible either.
He is, by his own admission, THE GREATEST!
Quite surprised this didn’t pop up sooner.:smack:
I’d have to say almost no one today would be remembered a thousand years from now. I can’t think of anyone alive today that important.
Perhaps historical figures like George Washington, Lincoln, Churchill, Hitler, Stalin people like that.
Consider all the Pharaohs and other big shots in Egypt. Or the emperors of Rome.
The average person knows King Tut , Julius Caeser, Nero and that’s about it.
Scholars know most of the Pharaohs and Emperors. But even they don’t know many of the Roman senators or other leaders.
