Plato. Because he is my absolute favorite mind.
Socrates. Because he is similar, but much more likely to be the life of the party, he was such a trouble maker.
My brother. Because I miss and love him.

1) Nikola Tesla. I would have so many questions to ask of him and it would be interesting to share a kindred spirit. Perhaps a little explanation is
on order. I have a friend who is a believer in Reincarnation. She feels that I'm the reincarnation of Nikola Tesla since he and I share a number of
things in common. Luck would have it though that I don't have some of his psychosis.
2) E.E. "Doc" Smith. SF writer and creator of the genre of SF known as "Space Opera". One of the first to write a SF series (Lensmen and Skylark
series). I would love to hear his take on present technology and how if he were to write it now a days how it would be different.
3) M.C. Escher. Loved how spatial his mind was.
Edited to remove my 3rd person that I had originally picked due to pain of separation after dinner was over.

Jesus mostly. In fact, that is about the only person I would really want to meet.
Maybe Adam and John as well. Oh, and Daniel. It would be great to pick their brains. However, meeting Jesus would pretty much take care of everything
I would want to ask them.
So, Jesus.

Don't let it throw you too much. You'll on occasion come across (or in this case create) threads like these. Just enjoy. Just enjoy.

Edit -- I thought of the question from an intellectual standpoint, historical figures and such. I agree with the poster that said the one he wants to
see most would be too painful to part with a second time.

Sonya, can I break the rules? I don't have just 3... I have so many questions for so many different people, it'd be impossible to pick 3 to get all
the answers that I want lol.
Jim Morrision - I would love to take some song-writing tips from him, show him some of my poetry and take some notes, and we would bond over (as
someone already said) our dark poetry.
John Lennon - From Music to Politics to Religion, we could talk all night, never a dull moment.
John F. Kennedy - I would love to hear his thoughts and ideas about the current economic situation in most countries, and of course, I'd want to know
all about Marilyn Monroe and what kind of person she was. Oh, and who Jackie's stylist was in the 60's - she had wicked style back then.
Janis Joplin - She would come over the same night as Jim. We could all have a grand Jam session.
Jimi Hendrix - again, he would be coming over with Janis and Jim.
Richard Feynman - in one night, over the course of dinner, he could turn me into a physicist. Brilliant man.
Sigmund Freud - as a Psychology student, i have tonnes of questions 
Just to name a few!
- Carrot

Funny you should mention Freud!
I hope I'm not breaking any T&C rules, because this is an actual article.
Freud and Cocaine Invent Psychoanalysis
The Accomplishment:
Freudian psychoanalysis is one of the most influential and controversial theories of the 20th Century. While you can argue its merits all day (though
we wouldn't recommend it) you can't deny that it created an entire branch of medicine, and more importantly, gave us the two best seasons of The
Sopranos.
The Drug:
Cocaine. The first ten years of Sigmund Freud's career were like a roving cocaine pep rally. He prescribed cocaine to his friends for headaches,
nasal ailments or just to "give (their) cheeks a red color." After all, why whore yourself up with makeup when you can get the same effect with a
little cocaine?
Actual prescription.
Freud wrote unintentionally hilarious letters to his wife promising to show her what happens to a woman in the hands of a "wild man with cocaine in
his blood." Oh, and he wrote an entire book called On Cocaine that's basic thesis was: Cocaine is *snip* awesome. You should really think about
trying some.
After one of his friends died from the drug, Freud quietly folded up his cocaine pom-poms and sweater skirt combo, and went on to found the theory
that was named after him. But a respected Freud biographer seems to think the drug played a huge role in the less embarrassing, second act of his
career.
Why It Makes Sense:
In those letters to his wife bragging that he was a cocaine fueled sex machine, the man who created the talking cure said he most relied on the drug
to untie his tongue. Louise Breger, who is something called a professor emeritus of Psychoanalytics Studies at the California Institute of Technology,
suggests that before Freud experimented with the drug, he was an emotionally sterile, socially awkward guy in a lab coat. Cocaine not only untied his
tongue, it turned him into the chatty Cathy that wanted to discuss how you felt about your mother.
"I think I'll write about cocaine again."
This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who's been around people on the drug
or at least seen the movie Boogie Nights. Cocaine bestows its takers with a preternatural enthusiasm for talking about themselves, often to the great
irritation of the people around them.
Berger specifically points to a series of all night cocaine benders in which Freud and his friend Fleischel discussed their "profoundest despair,"
as he referred to it. From those sessions Freud came up with the whole idea of the patient pouring out his feelings on a couch while the therapist
nodded and took notes.
Before You Go Trying It...
Fleischel, the friend who sent Freud on the path toward psychoanalysis was the same guy the drug ended up killing.
