Historically; people like Edmund Burke and Issac Newton. In more recent history people like William Buckley and Milton Friedman. I would also say that somebody like Stephen Pinker is strongly approved of in right wing intellectual circles although I doubt he'd characterize himself as such. There exists a large 'grey tribe' that doesn't classify itself as a purist left wing or right wing, but has strong elements of both under it's banner. I think of somebody like Eliezer Yudkowsky or Scott Alexander as continuing the Enlightenment tradition which has strong right wing influences. There was always a strong link between classical liberal thinking and the Enlightenment scholars. In HN's own backyard we have Curtis Yarvin and Peter Thiel. Our history is of course very recent but there are still people who stand out with their ideas and are mostly on the right. In the more public sphere we have people like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden who are more easily claimed by the modern right wing intelligentsia than the left. Obviously there is some noise with the signal but you've got to anticipate it is not often that a human being is a ideological purist to the degree of say: William Buckley or Noam Chomsky.
