I like ideas and I like to read people who have them. The longer I live, the more I realize I don’t know much about anything. So anytime I can find help in making sense of people who really do know something, I smile real big. Paul Martin provided a nice link to Dictionary of Philosophical Terms and Names.

Lately, the best story tellers seem to be coming from scientists such as Richard Dawkins, Steven Pinker, and Brian Greene.
