Is Someone the Most Important?

Alex is obsessed with going off on side bars like this right now, talking about this study and celebrities being dumb or this. Alex has been teasing and rambling this whole episode so far about him revealing who the most important person on earth is. But now he's moving the goal posts. Apparently now it's the greatest person on earth, the person with the most potential to empower humanity. If alex thinks those things are interchangeable, that's fine, but it also speaks to his subjective beliefs.
