Norman Borlaug - easily the one individual person who's saved the most lives out of everybody who's ever lived.

Carl Sagan - An awesome science communicator that died way too young.

Richard Dawkins - though his style can sometimes be a bit abrasive, his writings on biology are outstanding.

James Randi - the magician turned professional skeptic, consumer advocate and educator. He's done great work to help people by exposing charlatains and low-lifes that take advantage of people in their most dire need. Not too long ago he exposed a "bomb detection device" bought by the military and used in Irak at checkpoints, as a glorified dowsing rod with no actual mechanism by which it could work, and nothing but the ideomotor effect to make people THINK it works. He saved many lives by doing that. 

A childhood idol of mine was Arthur C. Clarke - I used to watch his "Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World" on TV, and loved it.

I have none. If that honor went to anyone, it would be my landlady during my stay in California. She was a wise and worldly painter. It was obvious to me that her wisdom was acquired the hard way too--by living life. One of the very lessons she taught me is why I do not idolize any single person. Specifically, everyone has something valuable to offer. Like them, hate them, saint or scum of the Earth--I may learn something from them.

I try to see everyone in life as my teacher. That leaves little room for idols.

Very much what Seagloom has said really, i learned alot in my life by doing things the hard way. I didn't have a Idol, I learned most of what i've from the little things everyone in the world has to offer. My inspiration comes from my drive to progress, to become better.

In a media driven world that throws in your face at a young age all the so called "idols" the really idols are the people who live around you all around the world, who stuggle to make a living and stuggle to make a dream come true.

Wow. I'm shocked on the number of you that idolize Dawkins and Sagan. I hate(d) both of them, lol.

[Giant ambush beetle]

I don't know anyone awesome enough to be my idol.

However, Trent Reznor kinda popped into my head - he definitely does not qualify as an idol for me, but what I really like about him is how he shows that you should stay true and honest to yourself, your believes and your style and not give a damn about trying to blend into modern consumer and sheeple society. Individualism at its best.

Plus, I admire his music. But an idol? Not really.

Richard Dawkins, without a doubt. And may Christopher Hitchens make a...uhm, miraculous recovery.
