Yes. We remember only the greatest works. We do not remember shit.
But today you cannot remember only the best, you will see and experience shitness. And 99% is shit.
In the future we will filter today's works by greatness, but it takes time.
Before that, read old books that were filtered by greatness.

>we remember greatness
That's actually a false conception

We believe that we remember what deserves to be, when truly we remember what is popular.

There are countless (if not the majority) of great people who couldn't permeate, because they didn't say what people wanted to hear.

The normies have fucked up the one job they should have not. Most great men have been filtered.
