I'd argue that's not a unique person, but a unique skill of an ordinary person. Interacting with Socrates as a person probably wouldn't have been extraordinary but experiencing his unique ideas for the time would have.

Give them perpetually 40 year old bodies and let them rule as two God-Emperors in repeating eight years cycles for each.

Just so happens to be the two countries I've recently been in. Completly different people, confusingly similar names. Also Serbia.

Doesn't mean it's all turning into a surveillance state like western countries, which this meme is about. Totalitarian shithole yeah, CCTVs no, the romanians crossed the borders and stole all of them.

I mean in the grand scheme of things there are only a handful of types of people, maybe a few hundred and those types repeat over and over. Everyone has their own unique experiences, personal drama and relationships, but their behavior and core traits are shared with probably millions of people throughout history. Thinking you are unique is not a rational belief and if it becomes integral to one's personality (like it has to millions of people before them) I think they should be mocked, just for the sake of getting their heads straight.

It's not that you aren't allowed to be the most important character of your story, it's just that you shouldn't think that's because you are something that never was before and never will be after.

This just reminded me of movie-web which looked very similar to this... Anyone know something?

I've always said Jimmy would be prefarable to the current roaster of politicians, and I'm going to say it again.

This may be a hot take, but I don't think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn't. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.
