[The Valkyrie]

Well, true enough.  Not many people are interested in meticulously researching the life of Caesar's third cousin's second butler.

Except for doctoral students.  Someday a Ph.D. candidate somewhere is going to be handed a research topic by their advisor, on "Atheist Angst in Early 21st Century Web Fora" -- and boom!   We're all famous.

Posthumously, of course, but famous nonetheless.

Well in terms of history we could well be living in a very brief and important transition that would be of interest to historians. What's the difference between 1620 and 1650 for example? Or 1810 and 1840?

What's the difference between 1990 and 2020?

In terms of women's rights, LGBT rights, the decline of religious power etc there have been absolutely massive changes. And the internet has played a big part in this as it's allowed people to talk and show that they are not monsters. The same goes for atheism and there aren't too many atheist forums out there.

And, of course, we’re living in the end Times, as we have been for the past few thousand years.
