RE: Does the Great Man approach to history still have use?
What use did it ever have, inspiration of daring do?
I played at war on my bedroom floor. Alexander, Napoleon and Hitler surely did too.
Rhodes and Clive bought in some treasure.
There's the sci-fi character, the entrepreneur who resists the restraints of the petty and gets into space, utilises all those unutilised rocks and humans have a future.
Do we need one of those? Could we get one without great man inspiration? Does it have to be Elon?

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
