More to the point: the FP Global 100 list was simply a proxy for &quot;what&#x27;s a list of search tokens that&#x27;s likely to indicate meaningful conversation?&quot;.  I picked the FP list as it was available, comprehensive, and Not Mine (that is, I didn&#x27;t select the names, and disagree fairly markedly with several inclusions).<p>The individuals named cover a range of backgrounds, from natural and social sciences to politics, religion, and a few authors, artists, and other creatives.
