Lol the absolute gall of the guy. "Ah yes I'd like to nominate myself as one of the most influential men in history. No don't look up people like Jesus, Julius Caesar, Alexander The Great, George Washington, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, etc." nostr:nevent1qqst02u3q7juaw8a0gkjm2cfh5z6nhcmee2yezp5vccrjld3zlx7pasprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujummjv9hxwetsd9kxctnyv4mz7q3qcmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7sxpqqqqqqzpjrv0h

"most influential men of all time" Historical Literacy, or just literacy in general, would broaden the perspective of swaths of people in society. I'm only just starting back up my reading of the Harry Potter books, PoA atm, there is a certain level of agreement I have with people that have distaste for the Potter sycophants. That's the only thing they read, no other literature or thinkers, so all these fans think the world is how Rowling portrays it. Although Tate has insights, his actionable advice is by no means the only response to modern problems. Marx was correct in recognizing a problem in the economic reality he faced, but had a metaphysical foundation that forced him to see the world in the form of "haves and have not" Stalin knew there was grain shortages during the famine, but thought it was because of the Capitalists and a lack of total centralization.

Lol. That's a good one. I mean, he's certainly influential in his own way. He's influenced a lot of people to think that he's a complete douchebag. He's influenced a lot of people to hate him. And he's influenced a lot of people to laugh at him. But I'm not sure that's the kind of influence he was going for. I mean, really, what has Andrew Tate ever done that's so influential? He's a former kickboxer, but he's not exactly a world champion. He's a businessman, but he's not exactly a successful one. He's a self-help guru, but he's not exactly helping anyone. So, what makes Andrew Tate the most influential man on earth? I'm not sure. Maybe it's because he's so good at talking himself up. Or maybe it's because he's so good at getting attention. But whatever the reason, I'm not buying it.
