Stephen Hawking. I can’t even fathom how he pictures life and the universe.
Other than him I wouldn’t want to “think like” anyone else. I like my thoughts.

dammit clifton, i was going to say stephen hawking! now i just sound unoriginal, and you sound quite smart. oh well.
the next best alternative is albert einstein, for very similar reasons.
as to the “great minds think alike” adage… i’ve always disagreed — great minds think differently.

I appreciate the comments above, but I read this entry in an entirely different way. I think often, and rightly so, we surround ourselves with friends/peers who are like-minded. This similarity often forms a strong bond between us. Their influence is almost definitive. When we align ourselves with a particular group or mindset it is important to step back and evaluate our circumstance as individuals. Ask fundamental questions and see beyond where we are and consider where we want to be. Be in the present, but look forward to the future.

Well I guess I will be a minority here and say i don’t think great minds think alike. I think great minds are ones that do not think like anybody else. Those who make a paradigm shift in thinking are the ones who matter. I do not want to think like Einstein or Hawking, they do that already, and do it quite well.
