This is a difficult question. There are so many people like would have liked to meet. I'm assuming that I still have a chance meeting those who are still alive. Unrealistic probably.
If I must chose, I would start with the Westerners, since I live in the West.
(1) Zarathustra (older than Judaism & Christianity, but shares a lot of features with them, like a similar Moses story)
(2) Isaac Newton (Epitome of the brilliance of the human mind. Like other theoretical, and non theoretical scientists, he never travel to outer-space, but he understood its physics and mathematics. He probably understood its physics because he understood its mathematics.)
(3) Martin Luther (Capitalism rose with Protestantism--political economy)
I would like to meet Shakespeare just find out if he really wrote all of those works. I'd like to meet Jean Jacques Rousseau and the writers of the Federalist Papers--John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton because their ideas and work were seminal in developing modern Western societies.
