This is a great question because it makes me pin it down on specifics. I can wax philosophical all day long, but the moment I have to make it real, I think I start to sound very naive. Here goes, anyway:

Steinbeck was above mediocrity. Clearly Satoshi was (is?). Fritjof Nansen, Mary Shelley...I think I mean all the typical great names.

It's not fame that makes a person above mediocrity, but having changed the world we live in to an extent much greater than just your own life.
