Randomly doing a bit of late night reading on both. Who does NT think has had a bigger impact globally?

This is an apples vs. oranges comparison though. One was an artist/icon, the other is a writer. One is famous for creating other characters, one is famous for being himself. The only similarity between the two is that they are able to reach a wide-spread audience.

Although I understand this might be a bit off topic but both Durden and DoublesJ are saying that this matter is subjective.
I never understood apples vs oranges because the question is who is better at what they do/did.
Is Rex Grossman a better QB than Ronaldo was a forward? Hell no. Although your comparing different sports, you can still gauge how good they were within their respective realms.
The question is who had a bigger impact, not who is better at their craft.
Maybe I misinterpreted what the question truly was, but from I understand it's who had the bigger impact on society. Just based off of what MJ did for a living, he has the advantage in the platform for having an impact.
I dont want to sound like im discrediting Rowlings either. She has a massive fanbase, but what she does just doesnt create a lasting impact on society.
