Maybe I'm a fucking hermit or something but I honestly can't think of a single person, alive or dead, that I'd like to meet.

Lenin for sure, the man was extremely intelligent albeit misguided.

Ummm I'm thinking alot of these philosophers, i.e., Kafka, Nietzsche and Kierkegaard, were kinda spazs in real life and I don't think they'd be overly interesting besides some conversation about their works.

Bukowski would be cool to drink with and hang out with for the night. I imagine getting stabbed by a broken bottle, robbed from a hooker and blowing all my savings on a down-and-out race horse in the best possible way.

Hemingway and Hunter S. Thompson are probably similar guys which would blow me way.

Playing some Risk with Lenin, Marx and Che would be cool. Add in Gramsci and Zizek for good measure.

From a personal perspective I think Nietzsche is one of the most fascinating minds ever to grace the skins of humanity. I understand from a kind of collectivist perspective he is a "madman". If you look at him from his time and even today his ideas are monolithic compared to any mind I can think of today. When I read "The Parable of the madman" and a lot of his work in Zarathustra, his ideas of a world without "god" and how man would function it just leaves a lot of room to think. The man basically thought himself to death..

Actually he got syphilis. :D

Also the crazyness is why I'd want to talk to Nietzsche or Kierkegaard. Their writing oozes crazyness and passion, although in reality they were probably mostly like the shy intense dude in my philosophy class.

Quote:
His great German literary contemporary Goethe was scandalized when, out walking with the composer, Beethoven refused to remove his hat as a noble gentleman rode by. To one of his most enthusiastic early patrons, Prince Karl Lichnowsky, Beethoven wrote: 'Prince, what you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am of myself. There are and will be thousands of princes. There is only one Beethoven'.


:dio:

Yeah he was awesome. I can't believe a dog achieved all that!

Ba-doom tish!

Interesting that everyone's assuming that the language barrier would vanish, athough I suppose having Rasputin stare at you for five minutes in utter silence would be a pretty creepy experience.

I'll add him onto my list, as well.
Seems like he'd be the man to go to for advice.

Constantine the Great, so I could ask him why the hell he converted.

Also, Judas Iscariot, so I could find out what was really going on back then.
