On the cover page of next month’s “The Atlantic” magazine, the world’s top 27 brave thinkers shaping the future are listed and featured. The list of accomplishments will amaze you! For instance, Thorkil Sonne, the CEO and founder of a software-testing company. He apparently staffed his company with employees who have autism spectrum disorder.
I had good look at all the names on the list and agree with most of the choices, with the exception of two, Trey Parker and Matt Stone creators of South Park.
But, having said that, I also find the list of names to be somewhat “American-centric”. The managing editors of magazine surely could have done a better job in compiling a more worldly list. Only 5 people on the list come from outside of the United States (Iftikhar Chaudhry, Thorkil Sonne, Morgan Tsvangirai, Paul Polak, and Alex de Waal) What do you think? Does it matter if the names on the list come from America? Disagree? I’d love to hear your comments on this.
