At first I thought it said "The Who is the greatest thinker..."

Great, here we go again. Then I read it correctly.

Micheal Leunig isn't bad but I can't stand his views about child care.
He's the cartoonist version of John Marsden, arrogant as fuck.

The answer is: some scientist I wouldn't understand.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 08:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you really think some scientist is really a better thinker than an 80's popstar in a dress?

i mean, get real!

heh heh. butler, haraway or grosz. i guess lurex is doing second year feminist studies.

in my opinion, probably Leroy Hood, who independently came up with 4 different breakthroughs to produce the human genome project.

and yes, there can be an argument made for someone like limbaugh, given how much the political landscape has moved in a neocon direction in the past 20 years.

― paulhw (paulhw), Tuesday, 13 April 2004 12:58 (twenty-two years ago)

There are too many different kinds of thought.

Anyway. Ewing? pf? Nipper? Cozen?

Or are these the greatest thinkers of the NEXT 20 years?

I love Cookie's post.

Naturally it touches.

The last line is clever, in a way that he has and not everyone does.

Once, on our way to the High Street, Cookie and I talked about types of intelligence.

See, I have not forgotten.
