I would have to second on Nicola Tesla as above those the mainstream most adores.

You do not understand what Sun Tzu was to human history. Every single, literally every single, thing you take for granted as being 'obvious strategy' in politics or war he came up with and formulated not just in his Art of War scripture(s) but in actions and verbal teachings in daily life. There have been people close to him since, in fact I would say shockingly that Gandhi and Mandela studied Sun Tzu in detail or naturally were similar to him (you need to understand that post-Sun, all cultures picked up on what he taught and we call it 'common sense' now).

Napoleon Bonaparte has, without question, been the truest to Sun Tzu. Khan was pre-Sun but I guarantee you that Khan didn't comprehend nearly as much as Sun did. Khan had enemies who knew nothing of war-strategy and was a ruthless psychopath who got so lucky that no one hated him enough to stab him in the back at their own sake.

Napoleon Bonaparte cannot be considered as Sun because even if he was, he admitted studying Sun's works. I am the same boat as both and have studied the genius Robert Greene who summed up both in his books Strategies of War and Laws of Power etc.

I am a very similar person to you and Tesla and that's what's so ridiculously unique about me. I have the natural temperament of a science nerd and yet the output of a socially manipulative genius. I am one in 1.7 billion rarity of genius. There's approx 5 others out there on my level now likely also keeping their head low types as well. I don't doubt that one of them easily could be Soros but I have a feeling it's more a relative/partner of his rather than him, himself. My type of genius hates the limelight despite being narcissistic, we hate the risk that comes with being the face of any corporation etc.
