Who are your campfire members? That is to say, who are the top four people you’d want spend one night with around a campfire? I separate it into two groups, those living and dead. I exclude relatives, so it’s generally famous people who I’ve never met or known in person. Judge your people on your own merit.

Living

  1. Larry David

  2. Stephen King

  3. Sam Harris

  4. I can’t choose a fourth, Barack Obama , Eminem, and Sebastian Maniscalco are three who come to mind.

Dead:

  1. Theodore Roosevelt

  2. Abraham Lincoln

  3. David Foster Wallace

  4. Anthony Bourdain

Scott Alexander, Eliezer Yudkowsky, Gwern and anybody else they'd be willing to split with. I hope we do shrooms lol

Come on man, you can choose anyone who ever lived and you choose 3 people from a niche internet forum.

Well, most historical characters don't speak English in the first place ;)

Although a campfire with some moldy corpses for company would be a memorable time too, albeit for entirely the wrong reasons haha

That's a lame excuse. In this hypothetical world we can resurrect the dead but universal translators don't exist?

But you do you I suppose. I don't know if your initial post was a joke or not but I am still somewhat shook that if answered seriously anyone would choose 3 niche internet bloggers.
