Intellects

This section is dedicated to the greatest human intellects. There are links below each name to articles about these people and their influence on human society as well as personal writings of theirs and some of my thoughts as well. While many have had varying degrees of belief in the supernatural, there is no denying the effect that these men have had on my life personally and on our current condition and understanding of our place in the cosmos as a whole and our relationships with each other...
