Kant should be waaaayyyyy higher than Voltaire.
Rousseau > Jefferson
Glad Copernicus is higher than Galileo.
Also, where is Richard Wagner? The man was a legend... everybody knew who he was in the 19th century, he is possibly the most written about man since Jesus and he forever altered the course of music.
Nietzsche and Victor Hugo should be there too.
WHY why why mention Louis Armstrong's pop music at the expense of Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Thelonius Monk and... just about every great jazz musician?
Goethe?
Good to see Simon Bolivar get a mention.
Christopher Columbus obviously deserves his place, even though the man was a vile monster.
Great choice for number 1
