No CEOs or politicians makes it hard. Can we do people from the past? If so I choose baby Donald Trump, baby Elon Musk and baby Peter Theil.
If you're doing consideration of past people, give consideration to baby Thomas Midgely Jr.
He's the dude that effectively invented leaded gasoline AND chlorofluorocarbons. It can be argued that no other single human in history did more widespread damage to the environment than he did.
Bro contracted lead poisoning, was informed of TEL's toxicity in 1922, and was still stupid enough to deliberately give himself lead poisoning again in 1924 to trick people into thinking it was safe.
Not only irreparable and frankly incomprehensible levels of environmental damage, but his products are cumulatively estimated to have stolen at least 824 million IQ points from people born during their use.
Dude reminds me of Wildman Whitehouse holy shit
Making the argument that you should kill scientists for their inventions is short sighted, dumb and morally dubious
-
Its Science, if Thomas didn't invent leaded gasoline someone else would have figured it out, an interesting parallel is Fritz Haber, discoverer of the habers process(iykyk).
-
Even if he invented it, it was the corpos who heavily pushed and kept it in circulation for their own benefit.
-
Attacking Science in any way compromises human progress, CFC's were the stepping stone to less harmful refrigerants.
Just now posted about him, what a car crash of a guy.
“No CEOs or politicians”
Ridiculous. Anyone worth killing will either be a CEO or described as a politician in some capacity.
Remove OP first, then two CEOs.
Ouch. I only said no politicians or ceos because everyone would more or less say the same thing
Well actually this is a very good point. You should have stated this in the post body.
The fathers of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos.
Erasing the existence of anyone would have to be done in the past so that shouldnt be an issue.
Mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosomal Adam. Can't think of a third.
Does it have to be someone alive? Uh. The guy who built my bathroom for fucking it up so badly.
Alex Jones
Steve Bannon
Stephen Miller
Peter Thiel isn't a CEO, so he's #1
Leonard Leo, Trump / Project 2025 dark money donor

It really is astonishing to see a guy thoroughly fun to watch on NewsRadio, across most of his standup routines, and even early-on in his podcasts go from left-leaning, sympathetic, and genuinely curious person about all kinds of things, all the way to a naked sellout, whose usual defense of being a right-wing asshat is to proclaim "I'm just asking questions!"
On a parallel note, I understand that Kentucky's Mitch M. went from left-wing politico earlier in his career to essentially Darth Vader in the last few decades. Which is why I'd think it would be both fascinating, horrifying and hugely revealing to learn just how that happened, in as much detail as possible...
Maybe too many blows to the head after getting into MMA?
Nah, he's a long-time MMA commenter, not a participant. In fact, her ladyship Ronda Rousey called him out on that just recently. OTOH he actually does hold two legit Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts, so the man is no fraud in terms of martial arts.
Like his master Dana White though, it seems he's heavily in to nootropics and performance-enhancing shizzle. Along those lines, it seemed to me that both of them were fairly handsome men only a few years ago, and these days they just look... weird... Like, sort of greasy-faced, with enlarged heads, and sunken facial features.
Adam, Cain, and Abel
Myself ×3
Lucy, if early hominids count.
Mitochondrial eve?
Yes
Jake Paul and Logan Paul do count as CEOs?
Thomas Midgely Jr., Richard Nixon, me
Assuming currently living people
I would start with whoever made that Transformer research paper in 2017 which paved the way to this LLM craze
Myself, St.Paul, Henry Ford.
Emperor Constantine I
Then save the other two to see how that played out.
John J. Schlummeister, Jan Mooi and Sue Tirami.
Philip II of Makedon, Qin Shi Huangdi, and the person who invented salted caramel.
Trumps parents. No parents no trump. Elon's aswell as Hitler's etc. you get the idea.
