Hawkings, Einstein are obvious
Darwin, Carl Sagan, Freud, Tesla much less obvious, they are not instantly recognizable faces.
Marie Cury , is not recognizable at all from the pic
Thomas Payne, well, it's a painting really, i doubt anybody can be expected to recognize each painting of each founding father of the US...
Then there are a couple of people that are less then world famously known to all of mankind, even to the more educated folks
Like Christopher Hitchens, who is an author,journalist
And last but not least, Ayaan Hirshi ali, who is a rather controversial figure , born in Somalia, got away to Holland (reportedly with a fake story), rose to political career and is now mostly a feminist, islam criticizer, writer...
Now, all those things considered, i find that a rather odd collection of people put forward proof of ignorance, especially since most people that repost it , probably don't know half of those people on the left either...
so Is it really a social experiment, eg, to see who reposts it without pointing out the rather dodgy setup of the poster?
