100 most influential people
Time Magazine just published its list of 100
most influential people in the WORLD. I scanned 16 names that I recognized, Barak Obama, Pippa Middleton, Mitt Romney, etc.--the usual suspects, but over 80 names I have no clue who or what they are. Now I am shocked at my own ignorance and and need some help. Here are a few names from the list selected randomly so you can tell me if I need therapy. Marc Andreessen Preet Bharara Pete Cashmere Maryann Durani Ron Fouchier Goodluck Jonathan Andrew Lo Mario Monti Elinor Ostrom Ai-Jen Poo Hans Rosling Portia Simpson Miller Barbara Van Dahlen Wang Yang Plus 80 other names. Who are these people. Who does Time Magazine think they are influencing. Certainly not me. How about you??? Oh, just some post-modern cultural crap to pass the time until the keepers show!! :yak5: |
I'm surprised you got 16!:rotf2:
Pete Cashmere: he makes sweaters Andrew Lo: Is J's brother |
I must have dropped to #101 this year.

It's a misprint.
It should read "100 most influencial subscribers" Wonder how much is truth and how much is BS? What does it cost to get your name on a "100 most..." list besides the 100 most wanted? When you can't recognize at LEAST 50% of the names, it usually means that they have lowered their standards on what "we" call influential. You know, when they lower flags around the country when Whitney Houten killed herself, or when the president is awarded a Nobel prize for something he hasn't succeeded in doing, then you can see where the "standards" have sunk to! |
The key word there is WORLD. Not the most 100 influential people known to the average American. ;)
Goodluck Jonathan---my favorite name among world leaders---is the president of Nigeria. |

Clammer has to be on that list somewhere

It's a cheap way of creating your own self-importance... The magazine helps these losers out.
|
they are hardly losers.
These are the most important economists, researchers and leaders shaping the world we live in. Marc Andreesen basically invented modern day web browsing for christ sake, which is hilariously ironic as people call him a looser on a medium he basically created... Who would you rather see? Rockfish9? BigFish? |
Yeah!!! Pippa Middleton is so very influential??????:smash:

How can any list like that have any veracity when Pippa Middleton is equal to your buddy Marc Andreessen Zac? Zac....Zac. Any list Time Mag. publishes is suspect to any prudent ordinary person.

I get a few from the Lagos branch of the FBI, too, signed by the Director himself. |
As usual I start a thread in a serious search for
the truff and you bunch of Jabronskis turn it into a farce. Don't you realize that of the 16 unknown names I posted only four have been identified by about a dozen members of this website. That is tragic. You are as big a bunch of losers as I am. Zac hit it on the head--these are among the most respected pinheads in the world and we don't know about them. I am so ashamed I might start drinking again. What did I do at college to be so uninformed?? Hello Earth to Skimmer, Come in Please. :biglaugh: |
Don't be so hard on yourself skimmer, I'm sure they don't know who you are either....,
