If you could have dinner (once) with just 3 thinkers, who would you invite?
If you were given the chance of having dinner with 3 thinkers, who would you invite? Dead thinkers would come back from the dead, look normal, and act as if they had never died, by the way, don't worry about that (and, they would re-die later, there's no need to worry about this either).
I'd invite Noam Chomsky, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Wilhelm von Humboldt. Chomsky and Wittgenstein because their ideas are diametrically opposed, so there would be a fruitful discussion. And Humboldt because he inspired both Chomsky and Wittgenstein... so he'd act like a "moderator", so to speak.
How about you guys? Who's going to introduce Mendel to Darwin, huh?

Karl Marx and Ayn Rand...so I could take pictures of the fight.
The ultimate champion of communism vs the ultimate champion of capitalism.
It would be an interesting meal.

The great thing about inviting them is that Ayn Rand would be obliged to pay for her meal and Marx wouldn't eat anything if you had to employ the labour of others to produce it. So long as your third person wasn't Epicurus it'd be the cheapest lunch ever.
I might bring John Manyard Keynes along too so he can get his ass kicked.
