The Smartest Public Intellectuals

Foreign Policy and Prospect magazine are running a poll on the smartest public intellectuals. Due to clerical error, ITA's Paul Musgrave was inadvertently left off the list. Luckily you can include write-in candidates.

Somebody left me off of this list.

Are you sure this isn't some sort of joke? Read the criteria ("Candidates must have been alive") before you answer that. Given the universal human belief that "people who agree with me are smart, and those who don't are idiots", it seems more likely the authors are researching reader demographics or something.

I think they just chose an odd way to phrase that. I did not notice any dead people on their list, so they may have just been saying that they would not select people who were not alive at the time.
