Is there really no woman to be named? What is the gender issue with public thinkers?
- jfabre 4y agoWhy don't you name a woman thinker you admire instead of complaining about other people choice.
- UnpossibleJim 4y agoPromotion is difficult, creation is difficult... destruction is always the easiest path.
- throwoutway 4y agoI’ve been noticing this more in corporate America. People complain about tasks or requirements. Well, why don’t you propose a better idea instead of complaining?
- UnpossibleJim 4y agoBuild, create, promote what's good. Do the hard thing. Exactly what I said at the beginning of the statement.
- _ache_ 4y agoOh ... The toxicity is strong here.

- dismantlethesun 4y agoIt's a question about favorites, so everyones opinion is equally valid. For example, I like Heloise d’Argenteuil. Her view on marriage being contractual prostitution was a fun & thought provoking read back in my college days. However, she's hardly my favorite thinker. Francis Xavier is my favorite public thinker. That's not because he's the greatest thinker that ever lived (I'd put Democritus as that one), but rather because he's one of the founders of the order of monks that educated me in high-school/college. He's who I resonate with. It's not a value judgment.
- _ache_ 4y agoMaybe we are just a bunch of men. So we prefer men “public thinker”. I guess we identify ourself to them easier.
- janikvonrotz 4y agoA healthy spectrum of opinions you would say?
- _ache_ 4y agoAny homogeneous group has a limited number of opinions. Knowledge is a strength. The uniformity of this community is a great weakness, not a "healthy spectrum".
