WE87 - Strangers among Strangers

In the beginning, I would like to say that I couldn't decide on which subject I liked more so I choose to go with the first option! The truth is that I wanted to explore the other subjects but I couldn't quite fit option three "elimination"! The reason is that the people I want to accompany me in this exile are the figures that changed my mindset with their legacy! So it is hard to eliminate the people that have that impact on your life. To be totally honest too I don't think that I would dare to go through that temptation because there is no right answer and definitely all the people who passed from this planet even the worst of them teach us a lesson! Maybe the lesson that gave to us was in a very ugly or beautiful way but the hard truth is that we learned from that like as humans and individuals!

After this philosophical monologue, let's get into the action. Let's look at it one step at a time, the first thing we need to settle is which people are going to accompany me in this long isolation! The first figure from the past that I would love to meet and just observe is Leonardo Da Vinci! I could easily just stop here because this man in my eyes is the finest man ever lived on this planet, and surely I think that just an hour of conversation with this man would make me think for days about the perspective we see and feel the environment around us! For those few who don't know Leonardo da Vinci, he was an Italian polymath, this kind of person doesn't exist nowadays or it's very rare to find one. In order to understand that we need to review what he did in his life. He became famous for his paintings and his notebook, where we found groundbreaking ideas in many scientific fields such as anatomy, astronomy, botany, civil engineering, hydrodynamics, geology, optics, tribology, cartography, and paleontology. One thing that fascinated me was that he never had academic education and the understanding of how things work and natural laws were a natural gift for this amazing man! Also, this choice has a practical meaning behind the obvious intellectual benefits, he would be an excellent help to build our own accommodation!

The second person I would like to have in my company is Tom Waits, yeap I changed the mood very quickly but before you judge me I want to say to you that five years is a lot of time without good music! So who is better to express all the sorrow and the emotions we are going to feel for the first years other than Tom Waits!? Also, I want to ask the rulemaker @galenkp if is he allowed to take his 1942 Gibson ES-150 with him! It's a very essential asset of the journey along with 2 barrels of Single Malt Whiskey! If any of you don't know who Tom is I would like to present you one of the most unique musicians, composers, songwriters, and actors. He makes a unique genre of music that has influences from Blues, Gospel, Jazz to musical theatre, etc. I will not dare to approach his music and his legacy, the only way to understand what am I writing about is to experience his music! So go listen to some of his songs and I would be happy to discuss them in the comments!

For my last pick, I struggled a lot because I had so many people from the past and the present that I wanted to include and have a chance to meet in person but my animal instinct doesn't let me! So I have to choose a specialist in this extreme and unwelcoming environment. I want to be honest here and tell you right away that I didn't know anyone from this category of people so with a little help from the internet I found some candidates. The majority of them are TV personas so I am not sure if I want my survival on this island to depend on these guys! But I don't have an option here so after hours (maybe minutes :P) researching I concluded Dave Canterbury. I think it's a solid pick for our team and definitely is going to help a lot with our independent living. If you have better suggestions on this spot I am willing to hear you!
