I've heard you mention a couple times in episodes of the TEK and inbox that you guys have a list of "people to listen to".
These are the people I want to listen to. Who do you listen to and why?
(there are alot more but I can't think of them all right now. I'll add more as I remember them.)
Do they have to be living?
-Gabe Newell
-Wendell
-Bill Gates
-Steve Woz
This is a hard question.
Wendell. Because he has more then one doomsday device. And his hand-claw thing is that metal. Does he have minions now?
in terms of computers or in general?
Yes,
From a technology/computer world i would say Steve Jobs but he's dead.
From a political Standpoint I'd say George Washington, but he's dead.
Added Pres. Carter
technology/policy?
I take what Woz says with a grain of salt. He helped start Apple, but only really worked on the early products. He left pretty quick, and has a very passive aggressive attitude toward Apple and more specifically Steve Jobs. This is shown in his book iWoz. Smart guy who seems nice, but he definitely holds resentment toward Apple

I listen to everyone, then go research whats said and make my own opinion :)

-Glenn Greenwald
-Bill Moyers
-Matt Taibbi
-Jeremy Scahill
-Noam Chomsky

-Thomas Frank
-Tom Tomorrow
