[WMS]

I feel sad for those who don’t know who Berkeley Breathed is. You’re missing out on a LOT of hysterical and prescient stuff.

Bloom County, Outland, Opus. Made enduring those decades much easier

[PSOL]

1. Thomas Hobbes—A man of his time, yet he was still wrong on the nature of man
2. Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus—not a fan of his incessant corruption
3. Milton Friedman—an more respectable Ancap
4. John Stuart Mill—had some good ideas
5. Berke Breathed—dk
6. Norm MacDonald—dk
7. Friedrich Nietzsche—I think his work is a bit based on him being a bit of a shut-in, but he still is insightful and seems cool to be around
8. Sigmund Freud—a bit too forceful on trying to jam a phallus into a square hole of the heads of his patients
9. Samuel Huntington—dk
10. Toussaint Louverture—true revolutionary of the time
11. Joseph Schumpeter—dk
12. George Carlin—smart dude
13. Ayn Rand—long winded cult leader
14. Harry Truman—union buster = HP
15. Buddy Roemer—creep
16. Jimmy Page—should stop asking people for donations
17. Henry Ford—Emblematic of the times in a bad way
18. John Muir—dk
19. John C Fremont—hero
20. Liu Xiaobo—dk
21. Mahatma Gandhi—already did him
22. Deng Xiaoping—y’all already know
23. Gustave le Bon—dk
24. Friedrich List—dk
25. Daryl Davis—dk
26. Stanley Kubrick—someone who I need to watch their movies
27. Sir Francis Drake—piracy is not the option
28. Calvin Coolidge—awful
