If I had to make a list of my favorite well known humans, Melissa McCarthy would be right up there.
My list:
- The Aunty-Christ
- God (see incarnation)
- My teacher - wait ... not well known ... oops
- Jeremy Corbyn MP
- Martin Luther Burger King
- Ghandhi
- Mozart

I like Mike Tyson at the moment. I think his personal development over the years is wonderful... very humble, and no small amount of wisdom.
Other than that... I really respect Joe Rogan and another podcaster Lex Fridman. But other than that we seem in short supply of great people in the world at the moment, or even just great characters.
When I look back at WW2 and you see all of these huge, huge characters. I mean, they are almost cartoon like. The 20 century dished up some beauties - good and bad. I don't know who we have now. I don't see anyone in the world with any kind of historical relevance at all. No icons, no inspirations.
I mean, Jordan Peterson got famous for basically being a normal psychiatrist. Joe Rogan is super popular for being a normal, balanced human being.
But the 20th century... wow. The list just goes on and on and on.
fav well-known humans....
Jimmy Carter
Eleanor Roosevelt

I'll make a list of 10 though I don't like to have favorites of anything. In fact I would like to use @Bunks list for my number 1. Other than that, they are in no particular order because my favorite depends on what's going on right now. Green is my favorite colour if I'm looking at grass.

Bruce Lee
Greta Thunburg
