The D.A.P. Score
We have all these famous people. But how can we be sure they deserve the credit.
The "D.A.P. Score" is a formula for ranking people. It is designed to weed out famous, influential people who have had a lot of help, to say the least.
Each of the 3 variables has a maximum score of 10. So the total maximum score is 1000.
You can calculate the DAP score for anybody, yourself or some famous figure.
"D" = Degree of DIFFICULTY - in getting started / growing up, e.g. born into a 3rd world or advanced nation, poor or affluent family, well-grounded/stable or dysfunctional upbringing - alcoholic or caring parents, etc.
So a very difficult start would score near 10, a very easy start, lots of assistance from family, connections, stable advanced economy would score near 0.
Remember that if "D" is low or zero, there's not much point in continuing further and analyzing the next variables "A" and "P" - because even if they are maximums you still end up with zilch: 0 x 10 x 10 = 0
"A" = Degree of ACHIEVEMENT based on "D" (the degree of difficlulty in getting started).
"P" = Degree of POTENTIAL, essentially for 'immortality'.
Thus, in summary, DAP = D x A x P
The maximum is 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000
Let's now look at the Top 10:
1. Bill Gates
Has the strong potential to be the richest man that will ever live.
His "D" score: born into an advanced nation, affluent family line, and again, given the achievement bug by his grandmother.
A closer look at the development of Microsoft shows that it if not for, Paul Allen, Bill Gates would be still trying to graduate from Harvard. It was Allen that first identified the seed of the future Microsoft. And much of the later software, that fueled the exponential development was essentially plagiarized.
So again we have a "D" score approaching 0.
Thus, a rough 'prima facie' guess would throw up:
Bill Gate's DAP score = 0 x 10 x 10 = 0 (0% of a maximum 1000)
2. Jesus O'Nazareth
The figurehead of the christian religion. Despite all the detailed, yet spurious writings, written well after his time (generally, many would argue that, "no Paul, no JN"), there is very little objective evidence of his existence, let alone deeds. In spite of of having a year counting system, e.g. 1999 AD, that is supposed to be based on his birth year, no-one knows his year of birth, nor the date - December 25, being a rip-off of the sun god's birthday, the festival of much older cultures, based on the northern hemisphere winter solstice. And there is strong archeological evidence (only discovered within the last 160 years) that much of the 'Bible' has been plagiarized from these much older cultures, e.g., Sumer and 'The Gilgamesh Epic' - the oldest story written on clay tablets.
In any event, moving onto the DAP analysis:
The "D" score. It seems that he had perfect parents (something few of us have) and a 'close' connection to 'god' - a pretty useful connection. And it may even be argued, that his success / achievement was pre-destined - all setup, a forgone conclusion.
So even before getting to the "A" and "P" scores, the "D" score and therefore the overall DAP is looking pretty close to zero.
Thus, a rough 'prima facie' guess would throw up:
JN's DAP score = 0 x 10 x 10 = 0 (0% of a maximum 1000)
3. Former President Bill Clinton
His "D" score: He was born into an advanced nation, didn't know his biological father, mother wasn't around much. But he was essentially raised by his grandmother, who had the time and inclination to give him lots of attention and instill a learning / achievement bug in his brain. His step father, whose name he would later take, was very influential in Arkansas. And many would say Hillary Rodham Clinton was, and is, a key driving force in his success.
So, inspite of his rise to the presidency, a major achievement, from seemingly humble beginnings, giving a high, even approaching a maximum "A" score, his "D" on close analysis is appears to be paradoxicallly low.
And his "P" score, given the scandals, etc. is probably also very low.
Thus, a rough 'prima facie' guess would throw up:
Bill Clinton's DAP Score = 2 x 10 x 1 = 20 (just 2% of a maximum 1000)
4. President Georgie II
Well, I think you can calculate that one.
5. Patrick White
Unlike most writers he never had to worry about money and could devote himself as much as he liked to writing.
Won the Nobel Prize for literature in '1973. But his books are no longer widely read and would struggle to even get published today (especially since his mother started his career).
Patrick White's DAP score = 0 x 10 x 2 = 0 (0% of a maximum 1000)
6. William Shakspere
William Shakspere (aka William Shakespeare) of Stratford upon Avon. Degree of difficulty pretty average, didn't achieve anything above the ordinary, but has a strong potential for immortality. Why the paradox? Well, because the Establishment has credited him with the works of
Edward de Vere. Just shows you if they can get away with re-writing history in this case, what else do they teach our children that has no sound foundation in a little thing called 'reality'.
William Shakspere's DAP score = 5 x 0 x 10 = 0 (0% of a maximum 1000)
7. Albert Einstein
The "D" score: born into an advanced nation, reasonably affluent family, considerable useful influence came from his uncle, excellent academic environment / facilities, and a first wife that may well have played a greater role than we will ever know.
The "A" and "P" scores are pretty obvious.
Thus, a rough 'prima facie' guess would throw up:
Albert Einstien's DAP score = 7 x 10 x 10 = 700 (70% of a maximum 1000)
8. James Watson
James Watson along with Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins shot to fame, including the '1962 Nobel Prize for their structure of DNA - the double helix, but they lifted the work of
Rosalind Franklin. She was the ultimate loser, dying of cancer at age 38 in '1958 never knowing just how much her colleagues ripped her off, because to them she was just a stupid female. The plagiarists basked in their sham glory past their 80s. Refer p563-8 Science - A History, John Gribbin, and the "Rosalind Franklin - The Dark Lady of DNA", Brenda Maddox)
James Watson's DAP score = 0 x 0 x 10 = 0 (0% of a maximum 1000)

The Internet's Top 10
Greats of all Time
1. Charles 'Hank' Bukowski
Bukowski had a shitty start, but stumbled on to John Martin, who himself commands a high DAP score. In a sense the two men are inextricably coupled for eternity.
Bukowski's DAP score = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 (100% of a maximum 1000)

I appreciate the concept. Very eloquently organized
