Penn Fraser Jillette. Funny as hell and hardcore libertarian.

I remember listening to a professor who taught "intellectual history". He was an advocate or Ayn Rand teaching at a university that according to him, " Has more Marxists per square foot than anywhere in North America". He referred to himself as "a student of Marx".
What I'm hoping for is that IDW isn't just an echo chamber. How many people here have read Derrida or Marx..? Most important, what did you struggle with?
Every bad idea has some good ones to make it easy to swallow at first but as Mark Twain said, "It goes down like milk and honey and comes up like broken glass.

Prof. Mel Kahn, Phd. Wichita State University. He is a political science instructor and liberal. He has written many papers as well as Books on the Daley Machine.

I will watch political commentary from all over the political spectrum. Mostly I agree with libertarians but I like to know where the left stands by hearing directly from them. This includes The Young Turks, Sam Seder, Secular Talk, HA Goodman. In the past, I would only get the news from Hannity, Rush, Glenn Beck, and Mark Levin and found I am far more effective at debating the left when I have heard their arguments without a filter.

I disagree with Jordan Peterson on his views about Christianity, as I take the Bible more literally than he does. Yet, WOW I have learned so much from him.

Agatha Christie. Especially miss marple I live in a village here in the UK and can definitely tell what a person is like from just looking at them, we've had no murders but there's plenty of village idiots

I will start....
I'm an atheist yet I learned a truckload of fascinating things from Karen Armstrong.
