>he's willing to have strong opinions about controversial issues.
So is Rush Limbaugh. A lot of people are, in fact. Being today's Bertrand Russell should require a bit more than that.
- johnchristopher 11y agoWhat about Richard Dawkins ? (good science reputation, strong media presence)
- marklgr 11y agoHe's more of a symbol, especially in atheist circles, than a great scientist. His "bout" with Wilson is pretty depressing.
- johnchristopher 11y agoNoam Chomsky ?
- marrs 11y agosurely he falls easily into the "cocksure" category
- drumdance 11y agoHow often does Rush Limbaugh take on his critics in an open debate? Sam Harris regularly accepts invitations to debate his opponents and usually wins the debate in my opinion. Furthermore, he sometimes changes minds -- including his own -- based on those dialogues. Limbaugh just preaches to the choir.
