If you could sit down with one man in history, who would it be?

Personally, I'd choose Adolf Hitler, fascinating character, and to see pure evil...

this is changing all the time for me...

hitler, i overcame in my teens already.
it was a boring idiot. he would eel around and it would be all hot air. forget it.
he never had anything to say.

n if you think hitler was "pure evil", you havent understood a shit.
but nothing else expected from you anyway...

i would like to talk to sapolsky.
its the one SCC is talking about on kkk.

have heard of him much earlier.
i think there will be (more) and really big stuff to come from him.

Either Alfred Nobel (of the peace prize, and Dynamite) or Adam Smith (of Wealth of Nations).

Jesus or my grandfather. Really curious to hear what Jesus really had to say without several layers of agenda-driven 3rd-hand reporting. But I miss miss grandfather and he had lots of good stories to tell. So if I can bring somebody back to talk to, yes, perhaps better him.

You'd be disappointed after he explained to you how badly the Republicans have distorted his message.

Jesus of Nazareth, Friedrich Nietzsche, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Ruth of the OT and the prostitute with the alabaster jar of the NT, Sun Tzu, Stephen Fry, Australia's Father Bob, and Stephen Hawkins.

Apart from those that have already been mentioned that are on my list, I'd like to sit down with Pavarotti (an incredible musician), mother Theresa, and Maggie Beer (I'd love to trade recipes with her)
