1. Jesus - Obvious.
2. Plato - Essentially the grandfather of Western thought. Alfred North Whitehead said, "All of philosophy is a footnote to Plato."
3. Kant - Destroyed pure rationalism.
4. Francis Bacon - One of the most important Empiricists, defined the way we think about the world, now.
5. Charles Darwin - Wrote the first widely-accepted and still mostly-correct theory of biological evolution. Significant because it severed a final link between the physical world and non-empirical thought.

To be fair,
(Actual idiot)
And I never said that no one alive "can" produce work on a level of Bach (although I strongly suspect that's the case)--I said that no one is. Which is a fact, although you are obviously too unlearned to even begin to follow a technical explanation of why that is. The question is whether that lack of production is due to lack of interest, or lack of talent, and I left it unanswered because I don't think it's provable either way. But the point is that no masterworks on par with Bach's are being produced today in the field of music, which at the very least undermines your conclusory statement that the greatest geniuses alive in all fields are probably alive today.

you literally said no one alive "can" produce... 3 times
unless you link me to authoritative sources that say this is objectively true, i will take your statement to be of the same (erroneous) kind as the various statements in this thread that obviously terrence tao (and therefore all other mathematicians on the planet today) is not on the same level as gauss or the other math geniuses of the past.

To be fair,
Counterpoint: There are no composers alive today who can even begin to compete with Bach, Mozart, Beethoven. There are no painters alive today who can even begin to compete with the Old Masters. There are no sculptors alive today who can even begin to compete with those active during the Italian Renaissance. Etc. Is that because of lack of interest in these fields, or lack of relative talent?

To be fair,
"Can" you read? "Can" in that context = no composer alive today (i.e., a working composer who is currently living on this earth) can compose like Bach. What's my proof? The fact that none of them even come close, and I find it beyond the realm of belief that that can be explained by a mere lack of trying; we're tlaking about proud working professionals who would be feted the world over and made very rich if they could produce music on that level. No one with any real knowledge of this field would dispute the statement that no composer alive today comes close to matching Bach in terms of sheer technical skill, and accordingly I'm not going to waste time trying to explain why to you because if you have to ask for proof of that statement, you probably couldn't understand it even if given to you--that's how obvious it is to people with any real knowledge of the field.
The larger question is whether any *human being* alive today, if properly trained as a composer, could compete with Bach. I don't think there's any way of answering that question, and that's the interesting question tha really gets to the point that you were trying to make.
But please, I beg you--don't assume my statements are erroneous. I am really interested in convincing you of this, just wait around for a little bit and I'll come back with a thoroughly sourced explanation where I show all my work. I promise. Just keep checking this thread every hour or so for the rest of the evening.

so you have zero evidence for your claim.
if it's so obviously true, i expect a professional composer or someone who studies the area to at least write an article in the nytimes directed towards laypersons pondering the question of why the quality of artistic output has decreased since the 1700s across the board.
but, huh, you have not a single piece of evidence. okay then, your opinions are quite worthless to me.

in the most objective category of human endeavor, athletics, the greatest performers today are indeed the greatest performers of all time by every metric.
they are so far and away better that it's not even close. we can say almost FOR SURE that the marathon record holder today is better at that distance than anyone alive in the previous 2000 years, and we can say FOR SURE that usain bolt is the best 100m runner in all of human history.
i don't see why the same principle can't be extended to non-objective fields like math and science if you butthurt romantic faggots would just stop clinging to the past so much.

A lot of that is due to better drugs, training, nutrition, etc. Those don't exist for the brain. Lol adderral.
Also don't forget that humanity has been in a dysgenic phase for a century.
Lastly, the level of focus is not the same. Too many distractions in modern life. Ok this relates to productivity rather than raw intelligence.

Idk, setting aside obvious malnutrition, cognitive function has proven to be very resistant to enhancement. I highly doubt postnatal improvement in nutrition results in higher IQ and does any academic truly put himself on a strict diet the way athletes do (ceatine, glutamine, etc.)
Prenatal is more important. However there hasn't been much improvement among the middle and upper classes which is where geniuses virtually always come from. OTOH there's been vast improvement among the lower classes which is where athletes come from.
Anyway, drugs are likely a much bigger factor than nutrition.
I suspect the talent search is a big factor. Now u have 1mm js mill's. Not sure how much an advantage precociousness is-don't forget that boy's name. Its probably at least as important and more widespread in athletics.
Overall ur probably right about the greatest geniuses being g around now due to sheer gene pool but it's quite different from the increase in athletic performance.

just as people have gotten taller with better nutrition, people have gotten smarter with better nutrition AND a more stimulating environment starting from birth.
if anything, i would expect the intellectual abilities of an advanced society to increase more than the physical abilities.
you talk as if all the gains in athletic abilities are due to illegal drugs. absolutely ridiculous.

are you fucking insane? i admit that any list of the top 5 is going to be arguable, but you don't see why the following even belong to the top 50???
-ramanujan the quintessential genius with almost no formal training who derived hundreds of mind-shattering combinatorial identities that even today are still being researched and verified. he was imported direct from a backwoods area of turdland after the highest rank mathematician in all of england intsnatly recognized his genius from a letter that he wrote and promptly became OBSESSED over ramanujan's singular and ineffable brilliance.
'Paul Erdos has passed on to us Hardy's personal ratings of mathematicians. Suppose that we rate mathematicians on the basis of pure talent on a scale from 0 to 100, Hardy gave himself a score of 25, J.E. Littlewood 30, David Hilbert 80 and Ramanujan 100.'"
for your reference, Hilbert was the leading mathematician in the world at the time.
-galois a brash youth who had little formal instruction and enjoyed pretty much no collaboration. this was owing to the fact that he was kicked out of school because he just couldn't give a fuck to be polite to the inferior minds instructing him, and spent most of his short time on earth as an outcast to the wider mathematical community. he spent most of his time political agitating in the french revolution and died at the age of 20 in a duel over some girl. before he died he outlined some of his work in a letter which was seminal to say the least and later revolutionized the field of algebra.
Hermann Weyl, a mathematician, said of this testament, "This letter, if judged by the novelty and profundity of ideas it contains, is perhaps the most substantial piece of writing in the whole literature of mankind."
-tao, i've defended him above.
