I find Adolf Hitler quite fascinating. Not in a good way, but holy shite the guy killed millions and kept the entire world from knowing about it


Communist Stalin was doing basically the same thing at the same time.

The thing about Jesus is:
1) He had humanity pegged like no one else in human history.
2) He was/is God.

It's worth contemplating, and even if you don't believe in 2) it's pretty hard to deny 1), which makes his ways worth following.

No shite… I think it’s Napoleon.

Dude would never have had a shot at getting where he did without a Revolution and the ability to move up through the ranks. Then once he did, he became the exact thing the Revolution fought against and the people LOVED him for it. It’s wild.

His story is incredible and dramatic, for better or worse, and his talent was extraordinary. That… was a life.

Oh… and excluding Jesus because he was God. No competition there.

The first human beings who decided to build, get in, and sail a boat from their land to an unseen, yet hoped for, distant land…across an unmapped ocean (and made it alive).

The Mars mission of the day.

And those that immediately followed them.

Cleisthenes the grandfather of democracy.

Agent 355 mainly because despite her huge contribution to the country we know next to nothing about her.

Nonsense.

Based on writings after he lived in a region rife with religious hysteria even today.

Yeah, sure.

Neil Armstrong as far as secular people are concerned.
Elon Musk is pretty cool.

Religion wise, Jesus Christ. Poor guy knew he would die horribly.
