Essentially, what individuals, be them musicians, authors, philosophers, family, friends (anyone) have influenced your general worldview/philosophies on life etc. And how have these individuals done so? When you look at how you perceive the world, can you trace the origin of why you perceive things the way you do to anyone specific?
Too big a question for me to answer. I believe every part of my experience in life has contributed to all of that. I also believe it has a lot to do with who I am though. Like someone else living the same life would have come out very different probably. _________________ kill yr idols

exposure to a lot of forms of music has shaped my worldview greatly, but pinning down which individuals because of their own essence shaped me beyond being part of a complicated lattice of "music" that informs my worldview is too hard. philosophers are easier, but on that subject the only person who's influenced by worldview by complicating it and then guiding me towards a process that i can completely jive with (at this point) would be Gilles Deleuze. Jacques Derrida i guess also kind of fits that role. ummm i'm not inspired by a lot of agents writ large on the world stage to like "do" something more because of their success or whatever (i want to be an academic lol). a lot of writers of novels and poetry are baes but idk if they shaped my worldview so much as just are a really important part of my aesthetic treasures. in my personal life, the people who have helped most to guide me are a couple of my friends and professors who have actively challenged me/nurtured me through various stages of development. uhh yep sorry that's my list i guess. also, i unironically think Jesus is really tight so he can go on this list too.

Totally. I'd say that anybody raised in the Western world is, directly or indirectly, a student of Jesus Christ. It's unfortunate that his true history is so obscured by mythology, blind devotion, and political scheming that we may never know what he was really like. With the little reliable historical information we have about him, he could be anything from a schizophrenic megalomaniac to a brilliant social reformer with a flair for the dramatic. I tend to lean more towards the latter, mainly because I think some of the sermons attributed to him in the bible exhibit an uncommon level of insight into the human condition. On the other hand, the real genius behind the proliferation of Christianity may not have been Jesus so much as the Paul the Apostle, another figure I greatly admire.
