Call it nationalism but mine is Benjamin Franklin for his idea of the American nation.

Who's your favorite inventor and what did they do to advance humankind?

My favorites are not necessarily the ones with great inventions but rather the ones that made it possible for other inventors to monetize their inventions, such as Lemelson, Kearns, Katsz, etc. A lot of inventors don't realize that inventions were easy pickings for larger companies until a few inventors fought back and won. Now that companies have to pay for inventions they refer to non-practicing inventors as trolls and lobby congress to shift the balance in their favor again.
