What is one thing you could do with your talents in the next year that has a chance of being around in recognizable form and significant in the year 2200? A non-trivial legacy for posterity?

Hmm people are misunderstanding the prompt. I'm not talking generic commodity things where your contribution can't be separated from others. I'm talking things where your contribution is recognizable and significant (even if people forget your name, the thing has a unique id)

I want to help neuter or ideally end entirely the War on Sex. It’s hard to measure a counterfactual but I do think the harm I’m trying to avoid would be impactful for a long time, as the Drug War’s harms will be ongoing.

Does drawing count as a kind of writing? Making weird architectural drawings (esp. for his time) was how Jean-Jacques Lequeu managed to create a legacy as a nobody in the 18th century, though I assume he had no idea his work would be discovered to even the modest extent it was.
