Yeah, around here we worship Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds, Elon Musk and Richard Stallman for being insufferable, arrogant pricks but Heaven forbid Simone Biles be even a little bit proud of herself.
Again, they are moving the world in some direction (a good or bad - I won't comment on that). How is she moving it by a jot?! How is this an achievement on the grand scheme of things? Have you seen what animals can do with their bodies? Have you seen an Alpine ibex, for example? An squirrel? A cat? Will this impress an alien civilization?
You have a reductionist view of both people and society that I find uninteresting.
Your fixation on "great man" view of history, in which only those who affect society on a grand scale matter, belongs in the last century, as does your reductionist view that societies "progress" along some linear axis of "good" or "bad." Everyone affects society, everyone matters, and society moves in countless directions at once.
Nevertheless.
However unimportant you may consider Simone Biles, the fact still remains that she's accomplished far more than you likely ever have or will. So apply your own rubric and find a bit of humility. She has achieved master status in her art. She has doubtless inspired generations of gymnasts with a lifetime of practice, effort and skill, and made an indelible mark on her field. She's the best in the world at what she does. What have you done, Nikolay?
...that's a rhetorical question, I don't actually care.
Maybe she is. I see no grace in her performance though. Maybe I'm too used watching Soviet Bloc gymnastics. Isn't this artistic gymnastics? I see no artisticism in her performance, just routine - it's like a robot doing it, but failing to land properly.
