Puppy you posted something by mistake. You forgot to write any text. More evidence Puppy gets dumber every year.
Had I waited until the list was complete, the article would have been date stamped in 2020, which contradicts it being the 2019 edition.
what does the maxim “fail early and fail often” mean?
it’s just another way of saying that “tinkering” is what works and failing late and once is usually catastrophic.
Explain
this wapo article (which i haven’t read) appeared first in my search of the quote in quotes “…”
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/post/the-new-fail-fail-fast-fail-early-and-fail-often/2012/05/30/gJQAKA891U_blog.html
“tinkering” means trying lots of things…whether random or “theoretical”…
and when whatever fails you don’t bourdain yourself…
you just try something else.
ULTIMATELY IT’S THE THEORY THAT ALL THEORIES ARE FAKE AND GAY AND THAT…
CIVILIZATION ADVANCES IN THE SAME WAY THAT SPECIES ADVANCE…
TRIAL AND ERROR…
THE EVOLUTIONARY ALGORITHM.
Once again puppy will list oprah in the top 10 making the entire list a laughing stock.
Billionaire David Rubenstein says why be president when you can be Oprah
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/billionaire-david-rubenstein-says-why-172217110.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAI1rvvbCy6BW58zNlJzMotuGCPi1zVSit1VbaMxFDV2kLmSwSYPiHuv_qjd8NwiYMlC95JBtrZxrM30LdBUMysImxIM_4o1QRTfAeqnRGWkgSr6GDJWnmu-s804Ol6MKP47Q8UTvryPkRAH73SFzDBs-vw2AZ86zKxFL9PU5MSnd
He was obviously being facetious. [redacted by pp, dec 31, 2019]
Yeah he was exaggerating, but his point flew over your head. As Lion noted, in the long run, the media is more powerful than politics because you change the way people think. And Oprah was not only the Queen of All Media for decades, she was the World’s most worshiped billionaire to boot. The whole reason people become president is to get the kind of money and status that Oprah already has. Look at how Obama is now giving speeches for money, recommending books and creating TV shows for Netflix. Even Rubenstein is trying to be a talk show host. Everyone wants to be the next Oprah. You don’t get America at all. It’s like talking to someone who just stepped out of the Kalahari Desert.
once again…
that’s the only reason peepee posts this topic at all.
but the topic is ‘tarded as it requires one be under the individualist ideology to even make sense.
so hitler and stalin and fdr were influential?
or they were just place holders in some doings of man in gereral?
Here’s a thought. If someone makes the top 10 for multiple events (i.e. Gates, Rumsfeld) you could account for this with:
100 – ( (100 – Product 1) + (100 – Product 2) + etc.)
=> P1 + P2 + … + Pn – 100 x (n-1)
The lower the better. You’ll get negatives though.
Eh. Now that I think about it you can argue that the #1 x #1 will have more influence outside his domain than lower-ranked people even if he doesn’t make the top 10 elsewhere, so that formula might be useless.
Alternatively, if someone makes the top 10 for multiple top ten events, I could just take their best score (i.e. #1 * #1 = #1) and then divide by the number of top ten events they made (lower is better) as a reward for being influential in multiple domains.
yeah, do that. that’s a lot better
the very notion of an individual being influential by himself is ‘tarded…
unless he’s a martian…
or other ET.
Influence = (how different the world would be had you never been born)/how long ago you were born
but how is that even possible to assess?
this is an example of how exact definition can still be 100% useless.
Ideally we’d have parallel universes where everything was identical except for the birth of one person. We’d take a random group of people from all over the world into each parallel universe & ask “on a scale of one to 10 how different is life in this universe compared to our own?”
The higher the average score, the more influential was the person who never lived in that universe.
You might say such a study is impossible but it’s also impossible to go back in time & ask the founding fathers what they think about gay marriage & yet the legal system largely rests on original intent
When experiments are impossible we rely on the judgement of our best & brightest to do thought experiments. If you asked the greatest historians in the world to rank the most influential people, their rankings would probably correlate 0.7+
when history is written…
50 years from now politicians, philosophers, economists, etc. and other entertainers will be most influential.
100 years from now technologists are most influential.
how many times do i have to say that maudslay and gutenberg are the most influential people of the last 500 years.
everyone else is just an actor on their stage.
people want, desire, are attached to…
things…
so far as these things…
are a purchase in a world which guarantees nothing except their own annihilation.
mortality is grasping…everyone is finger strength away from falling from the empire state building…so they attach themselves to things.
there are no saves.
this is idolatry.
conclusion: my circumcised white hard on is gorgeous and irresistible to peepee and other women.
re the list of events, I’d scrap global warming and fall of USSR. I’d move 9/11 + Islam up—maybe just combine them bc they’re the same thing to most people. Culture wars should be at least #2; those literally affected everything (internet only like half of everything but some would argue in more significant ways).
– Global warming itself hasn’t been that impactful on its own yet. Give it 50 more years or so. Indirectly, yes. MSM has gotten people to believe insane things about it that are completely false.
– Culture wars changed the average developed-world person’s perspective on just about everything—people act completely differently than they used to. Most of my views were mainstream 50 years ago. They haven’t affected the developing world nearly as much though.
– I’d argue that the Soviet Union itself had much more influence on the last 50 years than its collapse. America wouldn’t be playing world police today if it hadn’t existed.
but the fall of the USSR is what made america the sole superpower. Too big a deal to scrap.
true, but most would say we were at the peak of our influence at the height of the cold war
i apologize for my low IQ.
gutenburg died in 1468…
MORE than 500 years ago.
but fact remains that spain was the shit for 150 years and that dude who spied on assange looks like this:
i mean had there ever been or will there ever be folks like cortez and pizaro?
for certain: 100 years from now in the year 2120, oprah will be a footnote.
but there’ll be lots of books on heidegger and maudslay and gutenburg will appear in all new books on the history of technology.
this isn’t much of a prediction as more “secondary literatrure” has been devoted to heidegger than any other philosopher except aristotle already.
wittgenstein will be forgotten.
heidegger will never be forgotten.
never.
it’s retarded.
buffett picked IBM and reduced his stake…but not to zero.
there’s yuge not recognizing the obvious when it comes to IBM.
IBM market cap = 119b
GOOG………………923b
AMZN……………….916B
I thought Buffet never invested in tech companies. I think I remember reading that he only invested in General Electric after a conversation with the CEO. He thought even that was too high falutin beforehand.
that reminds me i need to buy IBM.
just like patanjali and shakyamuni buddha and averroes will have lots of commentaries published in 2120, but oprah will appear only in footnotes…
there will be no talmud of the oprah talk show.
there could be.
all her shows will be preserved…in quail and aspic tins, like mallory ate on his death march.
the great war is still the touch stone and the acid test…
the hellscape is the test.
looking at the pictures of the hellscape…
do you get it?
it was dandruff mud.
WHERE ARE WE?
because men are violent.
patriarchy is just men protecting women from…
other men.
(another reason not to make the world an idol)
sad!
so some lesbian professor says…
“men are basically running a mafia on women.”
i say…
you’re right!
it would be totally cool if you weren’t into dudes…
but then when you start rubbing your lady penis and nether-lips against other girls’ junk yards i say…
seriously?
why?
what’s the point of that?
for one thing: man junk is way better at scissoring.
Personally this person you are relying on in quora I’ve never heard of before. I would suggest 9-11 and the internet as the 2 main ones. From a consumer perspective maybe the introduction of Apples’ Iphone. The rise of China is a slow burner but is going to be a more important thing as time passes by. Climate change effects things too slowly. I would suggest jewish control of the media starting in the 60s is also another touchstone.
Basically I think Franz Boaz had more influence on the West than any other individual if you believe Kevin McDonald, which I do, that he was the first intellectual to start undermining western cultural supremacy.
at least 99 out of 100 quora users are indians.
you haven’t noticed?
More evidence that indians are massively underachieving as a civilisation.
Theres a good chance well see people like Marianne Williamson and that woman that wrote the Secret in Puppys list.
pretty sure deepak ch-OPRAH will be in the top 10.
So lion has gone back to banning me once I started pointing out how his own people control the media he keeps lambasting.
as the late great homosexual jim nabors once said:
have you tried posting from your home ip in israel?
This list is dumb.
Instead of relying on some guy from quora you could have just looked up the Time most influential people lists from the past 10 or 20 years.
Why do you even have this ambition to name 100 people who are influential? This has almost nothing to do with the usual stuff you write about.
Why do you even have this ambition to name 100 people who are influential?
Because influence, like wealth, is an important measure of success & I don’t think anyone’s ever measured it well in living people. Time magazine’s lists are too politically correct and celebrity oriented. Michael hart had a good list of the 100 most influential people of all time, but I’d like an analogous list for living people.
I’m very hesitant to name inventors as influential. Its more that they effect, than affect people.
I define influential as anyone without whom the world would have been a substantially different place.
So Hitlers parents are just as influential as Hitler?
To sidestep the parents of influential people being considered influential, I define influence as:
(how different the world would have been had you never been born)/number of years since you were born.
The fall of the soviet union was also quite a major event in that it shifted politics in the western countries rightwards. There were a lot of reasons neoliberalism became popular and David Harvey has a book about it but a key one was the decline of the USSR. In the same way that the existence of the USSR probably was a catalyst to the creation of welfare states in western europe. The fall of the USSR and what it meant for the balkans and geopolitics isn’t a big deal though. Unless you want to entertain some conspiracy theories about how jews looted it and have created a white knight called Vladimir Putin.
Actually I was a bit skeptical an ‘old leftist’ movement could be popular again in the West following the Berlin Wall coming down. Most of the band aids that were attached to capitalism by Master in light of the existence of the USSR were ironically what kept the whole system sputtering along.
Chile today is a pretty good example of what happens when you have neoliberalism without a welfare state.
It almost makes me think jews should invent another ideology/survival strategy to make elites in the West nicer to their workers.
indeed! this is why the effect of the soviet union on the world in general, not just on the former russian empire, was a yuge net plus.
when the commies are breathing down your neck you compromise.
and of course the much promoted idea that the soviet union was an economic failure is a straight out lie.
I will put money on the fact that elites will actually get harsher towards their workers the more of them that become brown/yellow/black etc.
You named Michael Froman but didn’t name his boss Robert Rubin. Hahahaha. Poor old puppy.
Rubin is lower on the list. Rubin might be his boss but I’m measuring influence not power. Poor old pill
Anyway it’s just a rough draft.
“James Watson”
No Rosalind Franklin?
only living people
Saying that he “helped discover the structure of DNA” is misleading as Watson and Crick did not credit Franklin’s seminal work that made their discovery possible.
George Bush II is arguably the least relevant living president alive. What gives? His brand of cuckold conservativsm for Mother Israel has had its time.
No he’s the most relevant. The world is still haunted by his decisions.
They weren’t even his decisions!!!!!! Thats my point!!!
They weren’t his ideas, but it was his low IQ decision to act on them. The neocons saw that a stupid person was in charge and knew they could take advantage.
George Bush wasn’t stupid. They never ‘convinced’ him to do anything in the way you put it.
a combination of convincing/lobbying
one question for hereditists is “does economic system and politics even matter?”
so east germany was the richest of the soviet bloc…because german.
think about it. the russian empire in 1917 sans bolshies would never’ve been the first to launch a man into space. it’d have no soyuz.
russia had lots of geniuses prior to the october (november) revolution…but not enough.
I think it matters. Look at korea north v south.
I’d really appreciate it if some of pp’s happy, well-adjusted commenters could give me some advice on motivation and goal-setting.
I want to accomplish something, I’m creative, and I have good interpersonal skills. I’m just so fucking lazy. I can’t bring myself to do anything that I’m not required to.
break your goal into tiny manageable chunks that are so small, even a lazy person can do one a day.
that’s what i’ve been trying, but i’ll go really small. maybe start with 10-15 minutes per day.
thanks!
Back to work tomorrow. I’ve spent the last 10 days playing video games non stop until I got sick of it and watched tv more towards the end. Is this it? I can’t decide whether I’d be more bored in work or at home.
maybe you’d have fun blogging again. there’d be a huge market for a 10-part series on your master conspiracy. you’re a much better writer than unz.
If you want influential people a lot of the people on the list are going to be people like Rihanna and Ariana Grande.
A more high IQ answer would be naming the record label presidents that create rihannas and grandes.
How is the world different because rihanna and ariana lived? Popular != influential.
actually…a non-technologist can be influential if he establishes an institution which is immortal. this is why jesus is one of the most influential people ever.
but ideas by themselves and political decisions by themselves evaporate right quick.
as of now the roman church is the oldest institution on earth. makes you say hmmm.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
so you’d have to say that madison is the most influential american ever because constitution.
but in terms of techne you’d have to go with whitney, ford, moore.
so buddhism spread from india to chiner and korea and japan, replacing their indigenous religions of taoism, confucianism, shintoism…
but today sri lanka is the only buddhist au jus of south asians.
the ultimate reason why in 2120 there’ll be more south asian romans than roman hindus is…
christianity thematizes life after death and eternal life whereas hinduism and buddhism don’t thematize such and claim reincarnation. and hinduism and buddhism are not moralistic.
rome will continue to expand until only lesbian professors aren’t catholics.
why russia? why ukraine?
the simplistic answer is because russian and ukrainian jews.
but why do they think their gate is even possibly believable?
what’s the big picture?
russia and the US have the largest white populations.
jews think little of china people.
they dismiss them.
so putin is hitler…
because he’s head of the largest white population outside the US…
and he’s not (((controlled)))…
and russia has more megatons than the US.
peepee thinks i’m a fag. but there’s one half jew girl who was born in the soviet union keeps appearing in my dreams.
i’m not obsessed. i don’t think about her when i’m awake…
just in my dreams.
Does mug of pee have the social IQ/general knowledge to know why they’re freaking out over trump’s cutting Ukraine’s aid?
For general knowledge to be general, a common base pool is necessary.
I am no less aware of my base pool than mug is aware of his.
I do know Ukraine had a civil war and Russian annexed Crimea.
I don’t watch Television (it is not my common basepool)
i mean sans bolshies gagarin would be a bolivian.
that’s the whole point of that borzov vid i’ve posted 100 times.
a white man qua fastest man in the world is something only the soviet union could accomplish.
and he won the 200m TOO!
he is THE example of how the one sport which is MOST a matter of genes…
isn’t…
much.
he was nicknamed “the mechanical man”.
i remember (standing by the wall) a news story about a soviet news story about america…
and how the soviet story highlighted homelessness.
and now i hate going downtown because i see so many tents…when did the homeless start camping in tents?
and i think…
i’m so lucky i’m not them….
and…
the US is a shithole country.
and women are attached to men because….
fear of death, babies protector…
but frivolous.
not as simple as corruption.
there’re lots of poor men who’d make great fathers.
i will be king and you will be queen and we will make our own people.
why would you wanna be influential?
“phut!”
iirc this occurs in Brideshead in the “sit down” between blanche and ryder.
rr needs to have a “sit down” with mike franzese whose father is still alive at the age of 102.
surprised peepee didn’t note the death of ken taylor…
a super high IQ (but obese) black guy died on dec 2 from MI.
Everyone on your list pumpkin is (with few exceptions) is over 50 yo.
My list of 100 people probably contributed little because I just picked the people I know whereas you picked people based on your research abilities.
PP – could you do an IQ list of these people you picked.
What is the coefficient of influence for each person?
Q: There is about one SD difference between you and me PP.
121 and 136. – You should I believe pumpkin, be able to create a scale of what people are like that you have met above and below you in terms of IQ. Maybe even a scale intervals of 5 what the are like. A person one SD above you is 151, or 3 intervals.
I am new to this, but I have to ask, what on earth are the criteria, particularly if it is supposed to be “of all time”?
Barack Obama and James Watson are in different categories – the one important because his country is important and the other one of the reasons why his country is important. Obama is a likeable, competent man who kept the show on the road and made no big mistakes. I doubt if he ever influenced anyone to do anything. 100 years from now he will be thought as much or as little important as Grover Cleveland, while Watson will be named in the same breath as Darwin.
As for Oprah Winfrey and the fathers of the internet, nobody in China has ever heard of any of them. If she is influential, the creators of television would be more influential by orders of magnitude if they were still alive, and the creators of the information age will one day be influential for creating celebrities as yet unborn.
Kissinger also scrapes in by virtue of still being alive. In the year 2200 he will be one of those people you are supposed to have vaguely heard of, like Palmerston and Metternich.
And, finally, if it is about people who are alive now and famous for good reason, what about the surviving lunar astronauts? Something happened, and it happened to be their doing – and also of a great many influential people. What is the point of influence if nothing worth telling comes of it?
I am new to this, but I have to ask, what on earth are the criteria, particularly if it is supposed to be “of all time”?
The sole criterion is influence: people who changed the World for better or worse.

Obama arguably influenced people to think more highly of blacks & influenced blacks to think more highly of themselves. He also brought health care to the masses and kept America from going to war with Iran. I agree he’s not as influential as Watson which is why I ranked Watson much higher.
As for Oprah Winfrey and the fathers of the internet, nobody in China has ever heard of any of them.
Influential != famous.
If she is influential, the creators of television would be more influential by orders of magnitude if they were still alive,
But they’re not still alive, which freed up room for Oprah to make the list
And, finally, if it is about people who are alive now and famous for good reason, what about the surviving lunar astronauts?
The list is still a rough draft so maybe I will add them. Any surviving architects behind the moon landing certainly belong on the list, but merely going along for the ride might not merit inclusion. If those astronauts hadn’t gone there were thousands of other qualified people waiting to take their place, I assume.
Pumpkin, if you have a 14 Matrix Reasoning, 13 similarities score, and 12 figure weights score, and have a block design of 8 and visual puzzles of 5, will you ability to apply coding concepts to actual code be impaired, not because of coding ability, but because of the low spatial scores?
It seems like the spatial, verbal, and quantitative stuff not only measure those particular skills, but measure how your brain functions. Like, more spatially tuned people learn things as a whole, etc etc.
Still feeling that thrill down your leg from the O-man I see.
“Saved America from a great depression and the world from an apocalyptic war with Iran….,” – Seriously, dude? Explain to us exactly how he personally did that?
You forgot “complicit in the greatest political hoax of all time, and first sitting POTUS to plot to overthrow an incoming President of the US”
At least you listed him below Trump, where he belongs
The dancing Israelis is not so good of a pick. Replace them with Michael Chertoff who covered up the fact that building 7 on 9-11 fell as if the only thing holding it up was air. He also dragged off all the evidence from the buildings demise in the form of the steel from the buildings and sold it off as scrap to [redacted by pp 2020-02-19] who then sold it to China to melt down. Now that’s influence.
