Great list. My only addition would be Yuval Noah Harari.

Oh sorry, I meant if it was my list. I wasn't saying he's right more often than you.

I've only read Sapiens, but listened to many of his interviews (Homo Deus taunts me from my bookcase). Whereas I feel Malcolm Gladwell often chooses his outcome and then builds a bridge to it, It feels like Yuval built his premises from the ground up as an historian first. 1/2

His ideas around how shared stories (fictions) brought us to where we are and explain many of the challenges we face is a powerful tool for analyzing the insanity around us. 2/2

I read him when I was exiting my teenage years and yuval opened my eyes to the fact that I'm a WASP product and that humanism is not so universal
