2019 Most Admired (YouGov)

Post by _subgenius »

YouGov put together lists of the most admired men and women in 2019, with over 42,000 people from 41 countries being consulted to assemble the names.
There is also an interactive breakdown of the admired list that is entertaining.

Thought? agreements? (especially from those who often tout how the "global opinion" for things is important).

That's kinda interesting. I found the list that could be viewed by country the most fascinating. For example, it's telling that in Taiwan Xi Jinping is more admired than Donald Trump. I wish Israel was on the list.

My thought is that I'm confused as to why you would post a link to the most admired people from 2019, but post a graphic showing the most admired people from three years earlier.

Because there are many restrictions and challenges for image size, video embed, etc for posting on this board. Work with the code ya got, not the code you wish you had.

I find it interesting that the top of the women's list is favored by entertaining women, women of personality, not so much substance but style. While some have an interesting "origin story", their admiration coulld arguably be founded in their promoted viewpoints rather than accomplishments.
(spare me any charges of sexism please, the list clearly establishes a context of sexism at the onset )

Maybe you should explain the lack of substance, for your targets, since this is your claim.
