If You Could Spend One Hour on a Park Bench with Anyone

Heinz Guderian.
I own one of his books.

Alive person:
Not sure. I'd love to speak to Roosh in person, Sameseau, and Parzival because I think any one of them could educate me very well.

I am thinking I would like to gain input on issues I have trouble understanding and why not talk to someone who I already know and can talk freely about anything.

I met QC last year in Canada and he is very knowledgeable and guides you with out any air of arrogance. Conversation flows smoothly with him. It would love to spend an hour with QC sitting on a bench.

Probably one of the great dominant personalities of history, such as Alexander the Great, Francisco Pizarro, Genghis Khan, or even Adolf Hitler. I know I wouldn't necessarily get any great insights from them about the 'meaning of life' and some such, but it would be fascinating to get the measure of such men.

Would they be sullen or charismatic? Relaxed or full of effervescent energy bursting from the seams to resume their will to power? Would they strike me with awe or leave me feeling underwhelmed and thinking they're just like regular people who happened to be in the right place at the right time. It would be fascinating to sit with them for an hour and see how big of a gulf there exists between a historical immortal and yours truly.

Not a single person mentioned a famous supermodel? I'm disappointed :p

(it's assumed that you'd bang on the bench, of course)

EDIT: sorry, missed Pride Male's post

Nicola Tesla, he was so far ahead of his time, we're just now starting to understand some of the things he was discovering 100 years ago. He is one of the most brilliant, under-appreciated scientists to ever live IMO.
His vision of free energy for the world was just not compatible or profitable for corporate America, so they would never allow the people to have his world changing technology. And that's just one of his hundreds of mind-blowing discoveries and inventions.

This is a great one. He has an awesome museum in Serbia. The other day my friend posted a joke to FB. Something like- "So when someone drives a Tesla and it get's stolen... is the car now called an Edison?

Great choice.

My father. I'd catch him up on the last 13 yrs since his death and tell him about his four grandsons (my Brother's boys). Breaks my heart that he never got to meet them.

Yo, who the fuck is this "Little Dark" dude I keep finding references to on the forum?

Anyway, I think we should choose one guy to spend an hour with that we could learn a lot from, and then one girl we would very much enjoy smashing for an hour on a wooden park bench, regardless of how many splinters there are in said bench.

Actually, I don't think I can exactly settle on one girl. So let's skip that for now.

Alright, well, I would surely spend an hour trying to learn as much as I could from Nikola Tesla, since this dude built a gigantic cock-shaped tower to harness the natural forces of the Earth itself to transmit energy for him, free of charge. J.P. Morgan didn't feel like seeing the project all the way through financially, but still, Tesla's contributions in the field of electricity, an element of nature so divine and vital to our planet and our species that we would all be surely living like the Amish without it, are so immense that I still have a hard time wrapping my head around this guy's level of genius. What's more, Edison totally punked him and profited off of his ideas, and gets all the credit for his work to this day. As Tesla approached his final days, his only friends were the pigeons flying through his apartment window, and he went out not with a bang, but with a whimper. Yet his whole life had been pretty much one bang after another, as in explosions of sheer genius and inventions, since I don't think this dude ever really had sex with any woman. He poured all his efforts into making his ideas become a reality, and he said himself that he pedestalized women and thought himself unworthy of their affection. Chicks tried to win his favor all the time though, if I remember correctly one French actress really kept trying to get with him, but he wouldn't have it, he was just too focused on his life's work. I don't know, maybe it was some sort of inner sexual repression or something, but really, that doesn't matter, this guy knew he had more important things to do. Absolute legend. Tesla made Wi-Fi decades before the Internet was even around, he made an "earthquake machine" that he said could have ripped the world in half if he had enough power, the guy thought up Alternating Current as a superior method of electric flow to Edison's Direct Current, a machine of his once melted the hand off a lab assistant with a stray electric arc of a couple thousand volts, etc. The list of Tesla's works goes on and on, and I can honestly say there's no one I'm a bigger fan of, just because I'm so interested in computers, electricity, technical stuff, engineering, and just to what extent a man can achieve if he is willing to put himself to the test. Phenomenal, legendary man, to say the very least.

I'll take a step further. I'd like to spend an hour with myself at 80. Then I could tell myself all my regrets, and which stocks to invest in. I'd also now know I am invincible to age 80, and would be able to do whatever I want.
 
Excluding family members who passed away when I was young, I think I would choose Richard Nixon.

Think about it. He was born as a nobody and became the leader of the most powerful nation on Earth. And that happened years after he became a joke, a punchline, and everyone wrote him off.

You could learn a lot about resilience from talking to a man like that.

Ayn rand but she would talk one hour straight. I would choose Noam Chomsky because he's still alive, and knowledgeable on a multitude of subjects.

1975 Playboy Centerfold Janet Lupo who died last year but looked good till the end. I've posted about her in the Boobs Lounge.

Look, I'm getting too old to wrack my brain listening to Tesla, Chomsky, etc., although they're all great suggestions. But aesthetics matter more to me as I age, especially since the world seems to be getting uglier.

So if I can get an hour with ANYONE on a bench, I'd like them to have massive, natural breasts and a pleasing old-fashioned personality. Lupo had both. Shallow? Perhaps, but I'd like to think men earn the right to be shallow after a while.

Jesus.

How many conversations could I start at bars later:

Ya, I was hanging with my buddy Jesus Christ once and he said...

Jesus wouldn't appreciate that bro. I know the dude.
