Who is the most important person in the world?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What use would Bill Gates's billion dollars do if he is the only guy in the world remaining? WHo'd run the machines?

What good is the Pope's status, if there is no one for him to exert that status on?

No one is important. We are important because of collective forces, and interactions.

You're saying the exact same thing I did but with a bunch more words.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
