    Saw a thread about this on Reddit. Interesting concept.

    Who is the most skilled person ever (aka the greatest of all time)? It can be in any field, entertainment, sports, academics, etc?

    Some interesting replies include:

    • Aleksandr Karelin - Professional wrestler. Only lost his first and last match, but otherwise was 887-2. He famously lost to Rulon Gardner (USA) in the olympics.
    • Leonhard Euler - Ok this sent me down the rabbit hole. See screenshot below of comments on Reddit.
    • Wayne Gretzky - Even if he didn't score any goals, he'd still be the NHL points leader from assists.
    • Of course Newton and DaVinci are mentioned...

      Bob Ross. Making a beautiful watercolor in just 15-20 minutes while also teaching? Amazing.

            Bob Beamon's long jump ruled for a long time.

            Donald Trump's ability to incite an insurrection by pleading with people to not have an insurrection is impressive.

                      For me, I would say someone like DaVinci, because his skills were so varied - artist, designer, inventor, etc.

                      The others mentioned were for sure super skilled, but mainly in one area.

                        I think the implicit part of this equation is "..and how valued was this skill by society".

                        The most skilled person was probably some dude on an industrial assembly line that performed a specific action 3 million times.
