Can you talk more about your methodology for deciding to include particular thinkers?
I’m also curious how ambitious you are with this. After reading a few entries, I wish this could become a standard resource deployed in educational settings, but I notice that it’s actual form isn’t really amenable to wide-scale adoption in various ways (eg the over-representation of Our Guys relative to historical figures), and it also seems unlikely to become popular without some kind of press push (although maybe you’re planning one?).
Thanks for checking it out! We tried to include quite a wide range of thinkers, including those from different categories (e.g., left, right, classical, modern, western, non-western, etc.). We hope to add more over time.
Extremely cool project!
