Hegel DOESN'T really run with the "man of destiny" schtick. Hegel's concept of the "world-historical individual" is NOT an individualistic theory at all. The Hegelian "world-historical individual" is just an unconscious instrument of history, simply an embodied configuration of historical forces. In other words, Hegel was absolutely focussed on the surrounding context - his concept of the "world-historical individual" is still pretty deterministic, and mostly focussed on historical conditions. He sees individuals (even the most exceptional individuals) as being largely incidental to the historical unfolding of "Geist."

Great founders lay the blueprints. The people build.
Good one. Perhaps Erik Reinert would be a good fit for your show.
Views too low

Talking about dark matters, how about the kybalion?
