A since this statement discuses people we can conclude....

todd: no this statement discusses an idea. Agreed, the idea is about people, but it is still an idea. It only becomes a person when it's no longer nameless.

Stowe is always coming up with these gems. Great sentiment with the start of the New Year and everyone's posting resolutions lately. How does this statement apply to our notions of authority vs. popularity?

I see three people named: great, average, and small :-)
- Todd Hoff
Hutch: Stowe is an authority on weird hats. :-)
- Robert Scoble
Depending on how you define great as well. Those that move history understand that it's the convergence of people, events and ideas that makes a difference. Great ideas alone do not change the world. :)

i discuss nouns. in my opinion, great minds often don't discuss at all. this opinion has very little reasoning behind it, and is the result more of impression than consideration ... this is how you can tell i have a smallish sort of mind.
