I am cheating here since I haven't read them all. Hayek, Smith and Herbert Spencer are there for their economic views.
I picked two utilitarians since I hold that philosophy. Pictured are Benthan and John Stuart Mill.

Jordan Peterson inspired me with his brand of pragmatism, though I have to say I do not fully agree with him.

The latter three gentlemen are literally God's amongst men. I cannot wait until the free market makes us overcome bias, immortal and in general better. Hence I added Eliezer Yudkowsky (also because I used to visit Less Wrong), Ray Kurzweil and Aubrey de Grey.

Bottom center is the only patrician in that pic. Ernst Jünger was a WW1 and WW2 veteran, a dandy, a collector of bugs, a nationalist revolutionary and one of the most proficient writers of 20th century Germany. He is most prominently known for his WW1 diary "In Stahlgewittern" (Storm of Steel I guess?)

I know you, I know you. You're the only serious person in the room, aren't you, the only one who understands, and you can prove it by the fact that you've never finished a single thing in your life. You're the only well-educated person, because you never went to college, and you resent education, you resent social ease, you resent good manners, you resent success, you resent any kind of success, you resent God, you resent Christ, you resent thousand-dollar bills, you resent Christmas, by God, you resent happiness, you resent happiness itself, because none of that's real. What is real, then? Nothing's real to you that isn't part of your own past, real life, a swamp of failures, of social, sexual, financial, personal...spiritual failure. Real life. You poor bastard. You don't know what real life is, you've never been near it. All you have is a thousand intellectualized ideas about life. But life? Have you ever measured yourself against anything but your own lousy past? Have you ever faced anything outside yourself? Life! You poor bastard.

This is exactly why I called you a pseud.

You would have me spell myself out to you in succinct paragraphs, so you can sit in your comfy desk chair and judge whether I've been influenced to your satisfaction that you might continue in your self-assured condescension.

If you were thinking more seriously, you would realize you cannot be provided with the information you are asking for. You need to know people to discern the myriad ways in which their influences manifest.

Also, even if I could make a fair attempt to spell myself out to you and the impact the nine men I listed have had on my life - I would not.

You have not earned the right to that information.

Plebian af but yeah idk I have to read more

I kind of see it as Diogenes, Stirner and Kierkegaard inspire me in their subjective individualist approach which rejects the relativist schools of thought and lifestyles, more in favour for something radial and authentic

Russel, Hitchens and Bradbury appeal to my scepticism and doubt of established social institutions. They're equally reminiscent of the age of enlightenment type doubt and outrage and the level of accepted ignorance

Chomsky, Tolstoy and Peterson have all heavily influenced me in making a true strong identity amidst all my doubt I find without these minds influence on me I would have no idea where to ground myself in more specific values and goals appreciating my fellow man

I'd describe myself as a new sincere individualist who's heavily influenced by classic liberal principles, while flirting with the concept of a stateless society

Here are mine:

>Shakespeare: for his poetic language, by far the greatest I have ever seen. He is the greatest of all poets, and the fact that he joined great poetry with stories and characters was also a great achievement (one he himself took a long time to master).

>Buddha: Not as a religious master, but as a philosopher. His ethics and his advices on how to live are the ones I find most rewarding and effective. The oldest texts are the best ones, for they show Buddha as a human being and as a man who knew that he did not know everything there was to know, and showed some doubts about the possibility of rebirth.

Beethoven: I enjoy his music more than the one of Mozart and Bach, and I specially relate to his creative process, his way of making hundreds of drafts and working slowly and painfully in his works.

Michelangelo: In my opinion the best artist of all time. I love his work and I would love to achieve some day the same capacity to work for several hours on my own projects without laziness and procrastination.

Darwin: I admire the fact that he keep on working even when facing grave illness, which was probably a form of neurosis, probably an anxiety disorder. I also think that his achievement is one of the main guides we have to understand ourselves: to know where we came from and who we are.

Einstein: I love the way he worked, slowly but steadily. I love his humble ways and his wise view of humanity and politics. I also like the fact that he needed 10 hours of sleep to function well but was not ashamed of stating it.

Gandhi: Offered great advices on how to treat other people, on how to protest, on how to face evil and injustice. He is like an incarnated version of the ideal of Christ.

Tolstoy: The greatest of all novelist, possibly the only writer that can face Shakespeare. I also identify with his own personality, with the person he portrays on his diaries. I have the same problems with egocentrism, self-doubt, pride, arrogance and envy. It is very reassuring to me that even someone as flawed as Tolstoy could eventually achieve greatness in his life.

John Maynard Keynes: He deserves my respect for creating one of the major models of Welfare State, and for challenging old notions of how macroeconomics worked or should work.
