• Murray Rothbard: By all accounts he was absolutely hilarious company and was interested in everything.
  • Kurt Vonnegut: My favorite author, by far. Had an interesting perspective on tons of stuff.
  • Richard Feynman: Brilliantly insightful scientist. Also, by all accounts a very fun hang.

I love the Vonnegut pick. From the Austrian econ side of things, Hayek was very high in consideration.

I went Rothbard, partly because he's closer to me philosophically, but mostly because of his reputation as a fantastic host and guest.
I think Hayek was a bit more reserved.
