Besides the few people I have mentioned from my past (one), there are a number of other sources of inspiration I would like to take a moment to point out. Most of these people are literary sources. There are of course many others out there, but these are the few that I can recall without hitting my bookshelves. I would also like to note that my ideas in no way reflect their own:

Yes, I did use Wikipedia as a reference for these people. I don’t do this in papers or anything, but it still gives a good overview of people that would otherwise have no page. All of these people, in one way or another has influenced my thought type. Most of these people have a single thing in common in that they build upon the ideas of others and they think for themselves. I suppose that is really the goal here. I also think a good deal of them are scientists in one fashion or another. They certainly are imbued with the clarity of thought required.
