What's the best painting in the world? The Mona Lisa? Why? Cause everyone else says so? I like Vermeer's Girl With The Pearl Earring. I heard it was called the Mona Lisa of the North. But in my opinion, it's better than the Mona Lisa simply because it's less famous than the Mona Lisa. I don't want to like the same thing everyone else likes.
Same thing with intellectuals. Is Albert Einstein my favorite intellectual? Heck no. I never even studied physics. I'm more interested in his good friend Kurt Godel.
So I guess I'm interested in quality without hype. Sometimes I like guys who have hype behind them, like Brock Lesnar back in his WWF days, but most of the time I look for the guy who isn't number one, but is pretty much just as good. I feel like I've done more research when I like something that's not number one.
