Hello David, I said Schopenhauer because he was the one who taught me in my adolescence, thanks to a book that I discovered in my library, to love truth and philosophy. He was my first teacher in what is now my job. And Beethoven because he was such a passionate, long-suffering and productive "monster" that he bequeathed us the greatest musical work in history (his ninth symphony).
They could also be Saint Francis of Assisi, who also in my adolescence taught me to be a saint. In general, those who move me are the heroes, the geniuses and the saints, who are, respectively, the three greatest representatives of the constitution of the human being, which is material, psychic and moral or spiritual. For them I give my life and they give it to me...
Regarding Ernest Schackleton, I don't know much about him, although you have no doubts, now I'm going to look for information about him. I know something about one of the first -or the first- expedition to Antarctica, but I don't know if it was his. I am Argentine, and part of it seems, or belongs to us, although I was just reading and it seems that many countries complain about them and that seems technically more complicated.
Regarding Da Vinci, without a doubt, he was a great genius, who, like Beethoven and Schopenhauer, suffered from mental disorders, and likewise many more: did you know that creative geniuses are 90% more likely to suffer from mental disorders? !? The relationship is almost proven; Undoubtedly Aristotle was right when he said: "All exceptional men are melancholy"...
