I felt uncomfortable about just taking 30 seconds to choose Will, and did end up spending more time reading some of the other bios, but in the end this seems like a rather silly popularity contest, especially given that it basically doesn’t even describe how you should vote (e.g., “who do you think is the most beneficial ‘thinker’?”). Of course, the fact that it is silly and ought to not be given attention by the public does not mean the public will ignore it, so yeah, I think Will is probably a good choice, and I don’t really have any substantive qualms with voting for him without having read many other profiles.
Taking the existence of this post as evidence, I think the odds that if I read all the other bios, I’d come to think that Will wasn’t worth voting for is <10%. Seems fine to me.
