There are too many accomplished people in the world contradicting each other to not filter it somehow.
My filtering criteria (maybe flawed) is "people whose biographies are still read after a few decades". This way "non-rationalist" like Churchill gets read; looking for "rationalists" will end up selecting people too similar to you yourself to learn interesting things.
