Foreign Policy has published their annual list of 'global thinkers'. These are people who have had Big Ideas, ideas that change the world, wage ever-more complicated
intellectual battles. Would you believe that these are some of the global thinkers: Barack Obama, Paul Ryan, Dick and Liz Cheney, Benjamin Netanyahu, Paul Bernanke, Marissa Mayer, Sheryl Sandberg, Condoleeza Rice, Charles Murray, Robert Kagan, Rand Paul, Eliot Cohen? The magazine has a very different view of global thinkers than I would have expected. It's more a list of famous people.

Right-wing war mongers, dubious politicians, and a sprinkling of hard-boiled business tycoons. Nary a philosopher among them.
