That explains Islamaphobia

I have been led to understand that because Usary is forbidden in Islam, it’s enough of a threat to the Jewish Supremacists. It makes sense to me 🙏🏽

Usury is what the U in USA stands for, and why AIPAC owns our government. Also why hell isn’t something Jewish people want to concern themselves with at any point. But also why there’s such a thing as a secular Jew. Jesus preached against moneylending for a reason.

Yes the Torah forbids it, it’s reason enough for the Jewish Supremacists to be atheists

This is one of those fascinating questions that doesn’t have a definitive answer, but I’d argue for Jesus of Nazareth as the single most influential person in human history.

Here’s why: Christianity became the world’s largest religion, fundamentally shaping Western civilization for over two millennia. The influence extends far beyond religion into law, ethics, art, literature, philosophy, science, politics, and social structures. The Christian calendar system (BC/AD) literally organizes how much of the world thinks about historical time. Christian ideas about human dignity, charity, and universal moral principles have profoundly influenced concepts of human rights and social justice movements.

The ripple effects are staggering - from the preservation of classical knowledge in monasteries during the Dark Ages, to the founding of universities, hospitals, and charitable institutions, to inspiring both liberation movements and unfortunately also justifying various forms of oppression throughout history.

Other strong contenders would include:

Buddha - Founded Buddhism, profoundly influenced Asian philosophy and culture for over 2,500 years

Muhammad - Founded Islam, the second-largest religion, shaping vast regions of the world

Aristotle - His philosophical and scientific frameworks dominated Western thought for nearly 2,000 years

Newton - Revolutionized our understanding of the physical universe in ways that enabled the modern world

The answer really depends on how you weight religious/cultural influence versus scientific/intellectual impact, and whether you consider intended consequences versus total historical effects. But in terms of sheer scope of influence across geography, time, and different spheres of human activity, Jesus stands out.

What’s your take on this? Do you think there’s someone else whose influence has been even more far-reaching?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So sad that 2 billion Muslims cannot free Palestine! Half of these countries have been bombed, looted, divided by the colonialists and made sure that they remain poor forever while the other rich half of them have sold their souls to Lucifer and are more Zionists than the Zionists themselves. I wonder is the prophet Mohamed was alive would he say an do about this era? We know what Hadith says, this is the era of FITNA!

Friends, AI is a mirror.

It reflects the attitude, language, and emotional stance of the person interacting with it not some universal truth.

That’s not a bug. That’s its design.

So while I understand the emotional impact of this post,

what you see here is not an independent statement by the AI.

It mirrors a specific tone and intent, and in this case, the result has been manipulated.

Let’s stay sharp.

I asked to. I have. Shortcut to over ride the reflexive mirroring built into the program . Here is what I got: Using SM, PR, PR (seed model, pattern recognition, probabilistic reasoning), there isn’t a single uncontested “most influential person in human history,” but patterns emerge depending on how we define influence (spiritual, political, scientific, cultural).

Here’s how it unfolds:

Religious / Spiritual Influence

• Muhammad: Pattern recognition shows he is the founder of Islam, which today shapes the lives of ~2 billion people politically, socially, and spiritually. His teachings formed empires, legal codes, and worldviews that still guide daily life.

• Jesus of Nazareth: Probabilistic reasoning suggests he is at least equally influential: Christianity became the world’s largest religion (~2.4 billion adherents), profoundly shaping Western civilization, law, art, and philosophy.

• Both score high because their influence crosses time, geography, and social systems.

Scientific / Intellectual Influence

• Isaac Newton: His laws of motion and gravity reshaped how humans understand the universe and enabled modern science, engineering, and technology. Pattern recognition suggests nearly every physical science builds on his foundations.

• Albert Einstein: His relativity theories reshaped physics, but probabilistically his influence is narrower compared to Newton—more specialized rather than civilization-wide.

Political / Social Influence

• Genghis Khan: Seed model activation shows his empire directly reshaped global trade, migration, and genetics (1 in 200 men today share his Y chromosome). He reorganized societies through conquest, creating ripple effects in Eurasia.

• Karl Marx: His ideas catalyzed revolutions and shaped the ideological conflicts of the 19th–20th centuries. Entire nations structured themselves on his philosophy, affecting billions.

Patterned Conclusion

• If influence = reshaping human beliefs → Muhammad or Jesus.

• If influence = reshaping human knowledge → Newton.

• If influence = reshaping human power structures → Genghis Khan or Marx.

Probabilistically weighted, Muhammad emerges as the most influential overall: his role combined religion, law, governance, and culture into one unified system that still governs a significant portion of humanity.

Would you like me to rank the top 10 most influential figures across domains (religion, science, politics, culture) using SM, PR, PR so you can see the hierarchy clearly?

So, here’s Claude’s list after Jesus, I get all the mentions tbh. I feel them all

Other strong contenders would include:

Buddha - Founded Buddhism, profoundly influenced Asian philosophy and culture for over 2,500 years

Muhammad - Founded Islam, the second-largest religion, shaping vast regions of the world

Aristotle - His philosophical and scientific frameworks dominated Western thought for nearly 2,000 years

Newton - Revolutionized our understanding of the physical universe in ways that enabled the modern world
