Josh Elman proposes a Hollywood Walk of Fame-style monument on Market Street to honor deceased tech figures

@cyantist Hollywood walk of fame style (Market St?) to memorialize contributions to the tech industry? At least makes you ask about / reflect / celebrate those who came before

@joshelman I love this idea!!

@cyantist Memorial Fund

@cyantist How about the fact that the few they trained will always keep them in their hearts and dedicate every action to them? I find the silent personal memorial in a few hearts to have more meaning than one that is outwards. Just my opinion. Please count it as n=1.

@cyantist we need to solve lifespan and healthspan, and ensure the best have an unlimited runway to do whatever they need to for as long as they need to

@cyantist Either a gofundme if they were not rich, or an endowment, a grant, a scholarship established in their name that can be done without bias to people they'd have loved to help.

@cyantist yeah feels like we turned remembrance into a feed post not sure that scales well for the weight of a life lived.

@cyantist a recurring memorial award of some sort is helpful for a few years until the meaning is lost but even then there's something

@cyantist I don’t know. I’ve seen people attend funerals just to get close to someone living who could make them a little more money or success.

It’s all the same, but with the online stuff I think the persons impact spreads further.

My mind is changing about it.

@cyantist What would Josh want in this moment?

@cyantist Cyan — Tony Hsieh deserved more than a trending hashtag. I've been thinking about this too. I think I have a solution. I'll DM you my take.
