David Graeber and Tim Pool

Ages: 52 and 26
Occupation: Intellectual activist and documentarian, Occupy Wall Street

But it soon became clear that much of Occupy's philosophy came from the work of Graeber, who taught at Yale and was a longtime social-justice advocate. As the group grew, Pool, a journalist from Chicago, began a 21-hour marathon live stream of the protests that was seen all over the world and fueled the movement's growth.
