LOL a lot of you people really don't get the "Which of these" part of the question. When you go to Waffle House do you keep insisting that the waitress bring you calamari?

[Lionman95]

I would say Jordan Peterson mainly because of his book 12 rules for life. I would say I haven´t been influenced by any of the other guys.
I don´t agree with every of his positions though. He just helped growing in maturity.

[Lionman95]

Thanks for the MHO. It kind of surprised a bit to be honest.

[meepmeeperton]

I'm pretty right-leaning but these aren't very good picks.

[meepmeeperton]

Well to respond to your update, I guess I'd pick Jordan Peterson even though I think he's a bit off his rocker these days. When he was just getting popular he was a good mentor for young men, and an academic against the leftist dogma in academia. But I was like 14 back then so...

[SugarSugarplum]

I think so too! I was all on board until he started pushing psychedelics!

[meepmeeperton]

For me his stance on Israel got a little crazy, but in general the way he acts on twitter or “X” these days is just unhinged. Like some bizarre movie villain.

[LazerBean]

Put of those probably Jordan Peterson, but even him not much. I had a good dad growing up so there wasn't much need or interest for me to look to other male influences in my life.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

None of the above were any influence in my life at all.

However, I do own a large block of shares of Elon Musk's Tesla.

[SotiCoto]

I've heard of 5 of them before. Not heard of 2 of them. And I don't give a shit about any of them, besides the tiny amount of effort I put forth to mock them. If all of them died tomorrow, I'd let out a brief, half-arsed "yaaay" and then go on with my existence.

[DrPepper12]

None of those except for Rand in the negative sense. Alvin Toffler, Tolkein, Samuel Coleridge, William McNeil, Marcus Aurelius, all has an influence on me.

[Anonymous]

people saying "none" don't know how to read the question properly

they'll come up with bullshit excuses like "I have a mind of my own"

yeah nobody said you didn't have a mind of your own, read the goddamn question again lol

[MicahRaine]

Probably Jordan Peterson just because I know him, but even he wasn't super influential because I'm not really on social media.

[MisterWack]

Elon Musk 🤣
Yeah he influenced me by destroying Twitter and marking its grave with an ‘X’. Jordan Peterson gave me the most laughs tbh.

No comment on the rest. No comment.

[AviatorTom]

NOTA. My parents were the best influence on my life.

[adventurous-1]

My debate couch, he taught me to always look beyond the obvious, question all facts, and not accept everything in print or on the news, the popular choice is not always the best choice. Think for myself!

[RedInnocent69]

Influence? None. Maybe Ayn Rand, because of I’ve read her, even though she’s extremely hypocrital, personifying absolutely none of the values of objectivism.

[Sarah2007]

I'm so lost I've never heard of any of these people except Elon Musk and he don't 0 influence on my life

[WindAtMyBack]

None of them have had any influence whatsoever. I don't even know who half of them are.

[Agape93]

Of them, Jordan Peterson. I don't agree much with him but I respect his sense of humanity and his intelligence

[avery58]

None of these have any influence over my personal life or opinions, I don't care about them.

[DishLady]

None of the above. Perhaps a touch of Rand.

[Kelley1]

Because I read a couple of her book and watched several movies.

[OddBeMe]

Oh god…none.

Biggest influence…it would have to be someone when I was young, right? Not sure.

[MrGSpotHer]

I don't like waffles or know who clamyramy is 🫣. I didn't know who anyone was on your list growing up, now that's not my folt is it?

[JonCobretti]

You missed Andrew Tate! 🌚

[Anonymous]
