Favorite philosopher?

It depends on how you mean "philosopher". I pulled this from the dictionary 1 a : a person who seeks wisdom or enlightenment : SCHOLAR, THINKER

By that definition, we are all philosophers. We all think, we (well, most of us) seek wisdom. I know I do.

So, my favorite thinker would have to be Dean Kamen himself.

I was aware of this. Philosoph, simply, means "lover of wisdom/knowledge". I was curious as to whether anyone would point this out, and then make the connection to all of us.

We participate in FIRST oriented activities voluntarilly, and I assume that in doing so we are all learning, gathering knowledge. We are all lovers of knowledge and wisdom, therefore we are all philosophs, however, it all depends on your interpretation of the word...
