Julian Assange, obviously.
A badass, a hacker, a philosopher. He basically pissed all over the doorstep of high-level politics—and didn't even run away—giving the whole world a front-row seat to watch the politicians, diplomats, and the rest of that political sludge dump their waste while they decide our collective fate.
He kicked off the first real cyber war, gave wings to those armchair anarchists and disgruntled types, and made organized rebellion possible from a comfy recliner with just one click. If you don't have an insurance file or know what a DDoS attack is, you're clueless. Priceless—just ask Mastercard.
He let the genie out of the bottle, and no matter how hard the establishment tries to shove it back in, it’s staying out.
Plus, he shut down any chance of that Lady Gargamel marketing project landing the gig. A total fraud in the dressing room who wouldn't pass a health inspection... some singer of shallow hits graduated by Ace of Base years ago, acting like a fake Madonna with those quasi-soulful messages... it just proves how much today is all about style over substance. Basically a cheap cookie in flashy packaging.

It's decent, but honestly, it doesn't reach the level of those TIME magazine candidates who inspired me to ask for your thoughts. I also included Andre Agassi's career milestones because winning a major championship with three different nations is the mark of a true master.
Christian Pulisic☕ To his life's work.
Survived being a coke-fueled philosopher in the woods, the pig-like screaming from his stadium stands, a media circus obsessed with his career, a fanatically psychotic Miami, and the alien-level talent of his rivals at Tottenham... then, at the end of the day, he joked around with those mediocre American soccer opponents later in the year, saving his own skin and letting us dream about the big tournaments.
And he did it all without any of that trashy nonsense—no chasing models for the tabloids, no excessive partying... nothing.
Always calm, always composed, a true gentleman. Hats off.

Another gentleman. Proof that you can actually do things differently, unlike those corporate exploiters.
