Name people who were anomalies for their generation

[JasonBlack]

there seem to be a far number of adaptives who were quite assertive: Napoleon, Che Guevara, Charles Manson, Simon Bolivar, Hugh Hefner, Margaret Thatcher

one more from each
atypical civics: Iceburg Slim
atypical reactives: Mao Zedong
atypical idealists: Pablo Escobar

What I might be seeing here is that adaptive gen passivity and others-directedness can leave a generational void of "alpha males", so the ones willing to step up to the plate can do so without much competition and take charge without too much difficulty. Thatcher isn't too unusual in that she's a cusper (1925) with more characteristic of her GI peers just to the other side of that age marker.

You can accuse Trump of a lot, but as a real estate developer for nearly half a century, "pretends to build" is not one of them. What he doesn't build are the kind of things Civics focus on, such as collective projects, institutional works, etc.

this is essentially why I have Mao Zedong as atypical of reactive and more like a "bad boomer".
