- Buzz Aldrin
- In 1969, he became the second man to land on the moon. Upon returning to Earth, he's never been the same. He's the man in the iconic photograph attached.
- Noam Chomsky
- I think Dr. Chomsky is one of the most amazing media-critics alive. He has all of these ideas that I would really like to talk to him about. There's so much to learn from him, and I would be genuinely upset if I didn't get to see him speak at least once. Also, he's a UPenn graduate!
- Stephen Christian
- The lead singer for Anberlin, I've technically already met Stephen. While his music is beautiful, he's also got some intriguing ideas about humanity and life which you can read about here.
- Albert Einstein
- Einstein sure was a smart cookie, but I admire him for his idea of God. He tried so hard to prove that there is a big guy up there, finally settling on the possibility of a mere creator as opposed to a personal God.
- Sigmund Freud
- Oh, Sigmund. Too many people brush you off as a sexist prick obsessed with a fake science. The thing that really gets to me about Freud, though, is the hope he had for mankind. His psychoanalysis was based on the idea that people could want to better themselves, but humanity let him down and he realised he'd have to do it for them. He just speaks to me so clearly; I love that hope he had and his want to better the world.
- Heidi Klum
- The (now separated) wife of the one-hit-wonder Seal. She is my idea of a perfect woman. Gorgeous from head to toe, and a pleasure to be around. She can take and make jokes, and I adore the way she can proudly say "I'm an alien!" when someone asks how she manages everything she does.
- Karl Marx
- Sure, he was a communist, but the only thing he really wanted was equality. There are some good ideas in Marxism, and some I really wish could function in today's world. I imagine having fanciful discussions with him in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
- Natalie Portman
- A part from being a pretty darn good actress, she graduated from Harvard University with a degree in psychology and has written two published scientific journal articles, making her a rare but beautiful breed of awesome.
- Brie Larson
