Simple... The Dude is the greatest man in the world (a.k.a. Jeff Lebowski)
Way out west there was this fella I wanna tell ya about. Goes by the name of Jeff Lebowski. At least that was the handle his loving parents gave him, but he never had much use for it himself. See, this Lebowski, he called himself "The Dude". Now, "Dude" - there's a name no man would self-apply where I come from. But then there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place so darned interestin'. See, they call Los Angeles the "City Of Angels"; but I didn't find it to be that, exactly. But I'll allow it as there are some nice folks there. 'Course I ain't never been to London, and I ain't never seen France. And I ain't never seen no queen in her damned undies, so the feller says. But I'll tell you what - after seeing Los Angeles, and this here story I'm about to unfold, well, I guess I seen somethin' every bit as stupefyin' as you'd seen in any of them other places. And in English, too. So I can die with a smile on my face, without feelin' like the good Lord gypped me. Now this here story I'm about to unfold took place in the early '90s - just about the time of our conflict with Sad'm and the I-raqis. I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? Sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here - the Dude from Los Angeles. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude. The Dude, from Los Angeles. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in all of Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Well, I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced it enough.

My bad...I never seen some of those threads. 馃檪
Well, no matter, I'd still say that the greatest man that has ever lived on this planet was Adolf Hitler.
Yes, I just said that. I might receive flak, too.
Sure, he was the most loathsome and evil man the Earth has ever born witness too, but he was great....think of all he accomplished! The man rebuilt a dead country, and nearly exterminated entire ethnic-populations.
Yes, Hitler was evil. Indeed, I hate the memory of him and what he did to the people Earth. But who else could have accomplished with such ferosity what Hitler did?

If building empires and killing people is what qualifies as great for you, then there are far better examples. Genghis Khan being the foremost.

In many ways, yes, those are qualifications for being great. It is not specified in the thread that the person had to be at all noble, or at least "good."
I do not mean to offend, if I do.
But even when you mention Genghis Khan, (who was also great, albeit brutal)....
What I mean to say is that I believe Hitler was the greatest man who has lived in recent times, say. He nearly singlehandedly changed the way the society of the world has been in (about) the last seventy years.
Before Hitler, it was almost perfectly fine to be a racist, evil person. Nowadays, however, we have grown into a perhaps better society (at least in the West) which does not permit such disgracefulness....
Still, whether the world has changed for the better or the worse since 1945 I'd still put to debate....
