wtf is a thought leader?
@gborcus Billy Joel is the only one who leads my thoughts
@billyjoel well sure, but you speak for yourself
@gborcus It's a Leader of thought, obviously!

@gborcus often in a a specific area of expertise -- or as a functional generalist like: "futurist"

@gborcus the chief california export that nobody else ever really wanted
