Listing here implies no endorsement whatsoever of what the individual says or does. Many of them would probably disagree with one another on any given subject. This is strictly intended as an incomplete catalog of people from a wide range of fields who stand a good chance of being the smartest person in whatever room they happen to occupy, and where to find what they're thinking about.

Links with highlighting are relatively active, with new material at least a few times a month. Others, less so.
