True, I think you’re right in saying MLK probably impacted more people than Malcolm. That’s an oversight on my part.

Another possible answer could be Kant? I think him or maybe Marx have had huge social/political/ cultural impacts.

I probably went with Malcolm because I think even King realised towards the end that Malcolm wasn’t the devil he was made out to be at the time.

But yes seeing different opinions on this is super interesting. Thanks for the thread, OP

Maybe not the same but didn’t Milgram’s experiment use Hitler or maybe more so the nazis as a way of learning?

Also, weird seeing this because I was watching something on Foucault that was talking about his views on history which are similar to what you’re saying.

I would say Henry T Ford, who, through mass production, changed the way we work, where we could work, the distances between our familial support networks, the very atmosphere we breathe, the economic importance of oil, and the scale of war.

The humble motor car, once mass produced, and available to all, changed where we live, the very landscape we live in and the need for a resource we, until that point, had no desire for.

The Emperor Constantine.

He basically put Christianity on the map and like it or not, over the last 2000 years that has had more impact on the world than anything else.

Whether that be creating culture, encouraging exploration, guiding (and sometimes dictating) how we spend our every day lives and the way people interact. Without that bringing a major part (obviously not all) of the world together under one banner then I believe many of the things we take for granted to day would never have been achieved.

There's so many different people throughout history whose actions or inventions have completely changed the way we all live. In fairly modern history I would say J. Robert Oppenheimer, credited as the father of the atom bomb (among other leading scientists of the time). The devastating weapon which ended WW2 let the genie out of the bottle and has caused much fear and sabre rattling over the last half century, but has also kept the peace and all but put an end to countries launching wars of conquest through fear of mutually assured destruction.

That was The Borg

But the writers got the inspiration for the Borg from the Roman culture like they did with other alien species. The Klingons were based on Vikings, and remember the Ferengi from DS9? "Ferenghi" is the old Farsi (Persian) word for "foreigners" or "aliens" who traded with them.

In human history.........The realisation of agriculture, this is the birth place for home, domesticating animals and industrialising food, products, money & tax, cities, all of our infrastructure and of course, for the rare few not the rich 1% but the innovators, scholars, honed trades like stone & metal work, explorers, science as we know it & maths. It allowing for "spare" time to think about the universe in a deeper state.

However, staying in one place and not following food by season and migrations, allows for famine even now.

We can see now in this Covid state of global events that capitalism industry eats most of the world's oil, energy and creates the most destruction by pollution in every area.

This is the next step in out historic evolutionary journey, choose wisely.

Each and every person from history is important to how we live our lives today. Although some may take their inspiration from great inventors and scholars, those people may take their inspiration from their parents, siblings and lovers.

Don't tell me for example that Adolf Hitler's Mum didn't influence how he turned out (probably not a very nice woman tbh).
