If Numenor had existed in the Third Age, Aragorn wouldn't have been the Aragorn that we know. It was circumstances that made him the way he was, and if those circumstances had changed, then he would have changed. I personally think that he is a lot like Ar-Pharazon. It's just that Ar-Pharazon made a LOT of bad choices, which brought about the doom of himself and his people. If he had been faithful to the Valar, then Numenor would probably have survived for a much longer time.
