Davinci for sure because of the breadth of genius and imagination seems more approachable to a casual conversation, plus history has less on him.
Other’s have so much depth in their fields that I wouldn’t be able to converse intelligently on anything they are famous for. Having a chat with Feynman would be my second choice because his talks to laymen audiences are quite good.
But actually I intended to indicate something more here… Almost all of these will have spoken English and it’s a bit slanted y’know? I’d take Aristotle lol

I thought about him, but IIRC he was a bit of a jerk.
Yeah but imagine if he were personally a jerk to you
Get him drunk and coax him into a fistfight/barbrawl over symantics.
Ok. I see the appeal.
I strongly suspect peak Aristotle would fucking wreck me but when he’s old and rotten? Yeah I reckon I have a chance
Also he’s the oldest and not much of his ideas are retained.
