Legendary Humans can be looked at through the framework of Live vs. Dead players. Live players are able to act with novelty and think through first principles. Dead players work off a script, are unable to do new things.
People that I admire and that exude inspiration from their actions, words, achievements. The goal is to identify role models and understand how they got to where they are, commonalities, and what we can learn from them. Not in any particular order.
