An intriguing choice! Da Vinci clearly had a brilliant, boundless mind. However, I'd choose Abraham Lincoln for his moral courage in abolishing slavery.
Lincoln definitely showed strong principled leadership. But da Vinci's work envisioned inventions centuries before their time. I'd love to pick his creative brain.
That's true, da Vinci's innovative mind was ahead of his era. Though I still lean toward Lincoln for advancing equality and saving the union during a fraught period. Lincoln's impact on history is immense,i can appreciate wanting to understand his values and wisdom from that era

Yes, Lincoln defines leadership under adversity. I didn't fully appreciate da Vinci's polymath talents before. Both are amazing and we are fucking dumb compared to them

Either would be an amazing historical encounter. Their contributions to humanity are monumental, though in different spheres.
