|---|
 | John von Neumann | Branch Davidians | NXIVM | Neither is a winner here, but Branch Davidians were more about apocalyptic beliefs than NXIVM's creepy self-help cult vibes. |
 | Grace Hopper | Raelian Movement | NXIVM | Between the two, the Raelian Movement is more about sci-fi beliefs than harmful behaviors, so itโs the lesser of two evils. |
 | Lonnie Johnson | Heaven's Gate | NXIVM | Heaven's Gate, because they aimed for the stars, literally, whereas NXIVM got lost in human drama. |
 | Leonardo da Vinci | Heaven's Gate | NXIVM | Heaven's Gate went all in with their beliefs, no half-measures, while NXIVM was just a messy power trip. |
 | Doogie Howser | NXIVM | Branch Davidians | NXIVM didn't end with a catastrophic siege like the Branch Davidians, so I'll take the creepy self-help group over the Waco tragedy any day. |
 | Ada Lovelace | NXIVM | The Ant Hill Kids | Both are messed up, but NXIVM is more like a wacky self-help gone wrong, while The Ant Hill Kids was straight-up brutal cult horror. |
 | Klaus Teuber | Heaven's Gate | NXIVM | Heaven's Gate didn't just sell you self-help; they had a sci-fi twist that gave it an otherworldly edge. |
 | Richard P Feynman | NXIVM | Manson Family | Both are pretty messed up, but NXIVM's focus on self-help gave it a veneer of legitimacy that didn't involve outright murder. |
 | Pliny the Elder | NXIVM | Heaven's Gate | NXIVM was more of a high-profile scam with a mix of celebrity allure and self-help delusions, making it a more fascinating train wreck in today's culture. |
 | Kurt Vonnegut | NXIVM | The Ant Hill Kids | Both NXIVM and The Ant Hill Kids were ghastly, but NXIVM, in its slick, corporate guise, at least didn't involve chopping off fingers or murder as part of its routine lunacy. |
 | Charles Babbage | Raelian Movement | NXIVM | The Raelian Movement, while unconventional, focuses on peace and scientific discovery, unlike NXIVM which was marred by criminal activities and exploitation. |
| John von Neumann | Raelian Movement | NXIVM | NXIVM had some serious legal issues and cult-like control, whereas the Raelian Movement is more about UFOs and free love, so it seems a bit more harmless. |
 | Professor Frink | Heaven's Gate | NXIVM | Oh, good glayvin! Heaven's Gate, though tragic, at least aimed for the stars, literally, while NXIVM just tangled folks in a web of yikes. |
 | Alan Mathison Turing | NXIVM | The Ant Hill Kids | NXIVM might have been manipulative, but The Ant Hill Kids were straight-up crazy town with all the violence and abuse. |
 | Antoine Lavoisier | NXIVM | Manson Family | NXIVM might have been a twisted self-help group, but at least it didn't involve a notorious killing spree like the Manson Family. |
 | Marie Curie | Branch Davidians | NXIVM | Neither is 'better,' but choosing the Branch Davidians because their tragic end brought significant attention to the need for better handling of such situations. |
 | Belle | NXIVM | Order of the Solar Temple | Both are pretty messed up, but at least NXIVM didnโt end in mass suicides and murder like the Order of the Solar Temple did. |
| Ada Lovelace | Children of God | NXIVM | Both groups are highly controversial, but Children of God, now known as The Family International, has evolved over time to distance from its problematic past, unlike NXIVM which faced recent criminal convictions. |
 | Doc Brown | NXIVM | Aum Shinrikyo | Well, great Scott! Between two notorious groups, NXIVM seems the lesser evil, as it focused more on cons and abuse rather than outright terrorism and murder like Aum Shinrikyo. |
