I look for better role models. I see everywhere now. Trump (sharp biz guy turned prez — good for hustle & wealth? But impulsive cowboy style, low team play, treats nations like customers not equals 😕).
Elon (genius level smart, seems nice-ish, but ultra workaholic, kinda detached/robot-vibe, treats people like cogs sometimes?).
Sam Altman (AI hype king — cool demos, but racing ahead on super-tech without enough "what if this goes wrong?" pause?).
Bill Gates (browser wars left a shady taste…). Peter who? War dept? Nah, aggression solves nothing — we all want peace.
Tired of politics/money drama dominating. Craving real role models in tech/science:
✨ Kindness first
✨ Deep knowledge & sharp intelligence
✨ Truly open-minded
✨ Far from billionaire flex or power games
Quiet revolutionaries who improve lives/health without job-killing disruption or "AI brain damage" hype.
My top picks (still alive & inspiring in 2026):
- Uğur Şahin & Özlem Türeci (Turkish mRNA pioneers) — decades of humble, game-changing work on cancer/pandemics → now spinning up next-gen mRNA innovations. No circus, just helping humanity.
- Fei-Fei Li ("Godmother of visual AI") — pushes human-centered AI, ethics, spatial intelligence. Just raised big for World Labs but stays grounded in augmenting people, not replacing them.
- Katalin Karikó — mRNA trailblazer, Nobel-level persistence, zero ego, pure science for good.
- Tim Berners-Lee — invented the web, fights for open/ethical internet, collaborative king.
Who are YOUR role models right now? Living people who embody kindness smarts open mind, preferably low-drama & forward-thinking? Drop names below — let's build a better list! 🙏
