Patrick Gunkel

Patrick M. Gunkel (1947 – 2017) was an American futurist and independent scholar best known as the originator of ideonomy, a combinatorial "science of ideas". Although he never graduated high school or received a college degree, his career included positions at the Hudson Institute, MIT, and the University of Texas.

According to a 1990 Boston Globe article, Gunkel was "regarded as a genius" by "a coterie of academics." The article quotes Robert C. Clark, former Dean of Harvard Law School, as remarking that Gunkel was "the most intelligent person I ever met."
