[Still Waters]

They can be living or dead. Who would you invite? I'd invite-Abraham Lincoln,President Obama,Truman Capote,Andy Warhol and Robin Williams (but only if he promises not to hog the conversation). Who would you invite???

 

[bezoomny]

Socrates
Cicero
Leonardo da Vinci
Oscar Wilde
Nikola Tesla

Socrates and Cicero would probably get into a philosophical debate, Leonardo and Tesla would talk about technology, and Wilde would make clever quips combining the two separate circles.

1. Robert Nozick
