This list is uncompleted.
I'd add here Daniel Dennett, Peter van Inwagen, William lane Craig, Alexander Dugin, Alexander Filonenko. But this last list is incompleted too.
I'd like to choose Sam Harris, but I've changed my views on his philosophy, so I won't pick him.

Current intellectuals that I can tolerate include Nassim Taleb, Alexander Dugin, and Yoram Hazony. Groups that I can tolerate include conservative Mennonites and practicing Muslims.

Out of those five it’s close between Jordan Peterson and Richard Dawkins. I agree with Jordon Peterson on a good amount of political/societal issues, but I don’t agree with him on religion and some other opinions of his. Richard Dawkins is actually the guy who spiked my interest in Athesim/Agnosticism when I was about 14. He’s a very intelligent guy, and quite clever as well. I don’t agree with most of his political opinions but for the most part he talks about religion and I agree with him on that subject every time so far from what I’ve seen. Sam Harris is another guy who I agree with mostly on religion and contributed to me becoming an Agnostic. My favorite public intellectual actually isn’t any of the five though.

You like Alexander Dugin? Good choice, I think. My shame I didn't hear anything of Nassim Taleb and Yoram Hazony. If one of them is published here, or they have translated into Russian articles, I'll try to read them. How far are they close to Dugin's views? Muslims I agree - they've been always high intellectuals; poorly, I haven't heard Mennonites' any last thoughts of them.

Muslims I agree - they've been always high intellectuals; poorly, I haven't heard Mennonites' any last thoughts of them. Taleb and Hazony don't focus on politics, so they are not like Dugin. I don't know what is available in Russian, but here are their most important books: www.amazon.com/Antifragile-Things-That-Disorder-Incerto-ebook/dp/B0083DJWGO/www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Hebrew-Scripture-Yoram-Hazony-ebook/dp/B0096BCVPG/Hazony has a new book out which looks political called "The Virtue of Nationalism" but I haven't read it.
