Ranking the Gurus: A Definitive Tier List of Modern Gurus

Decoding the Gurus is now a venerable institution and as such we have built up quite a menagerie of would-be gurus and even a handful of not-really gurus. So like all the hip kids today, we decided to look back at our previous gurus and arrange them on a tier list of Secular Guruosity. if you want to see what that means to us, check this out: https://decoding-the-gurus.captivate.fm/episode/the-science-and-the-art-of-gurometry If you would like to play along we’ve made a version accessible online so you can provide your rankings or you can see ours: https://tiermaker.com/create/modern-gurus-17331102 Also, due to an image-importing hiccup, we missed Sam Harris (B), Robert Wright (D) and Richard Dawkins (D). All have been added to the template!

Hard not to wonder at the YouTube thumbnail how much the gurusphere is white male dominated

A harm gradient would be interesting along the X axis. I would have to place the Musk as the most harmful. I hope I'm wrong (I usually am) but I fear his companies are about to become the next Enron or even the next Leman Bros. It may be the ferocity of the gururosity that determines their velocity.

Seeing so many of them in one picture makes one thing very clear… in 2024, the middle aged white dudes are not ok. 😂

The graphic is just a murderer’s row of the most deranged people on the internet.

Good work Editor Andy!

You guys should do a tier list of "would recommend listening to/reading" to offers no value/waste of time. Would be interesting to see how far you can make it up the gurus tier list, but still offer value to the public discourse :)

Brene Brown should totally be under Actually Good. She communicates a lot of sound, evidence-based mental health practices. Yes she gets vibey with her style but she's actually good.
