Chomsky ( i know ,not a real philosopher). Sizek, Daniel Dennet. On the conservative side Sowell is pretty solid.

Thought leader? His philosophy is reflected in everything he does from freedom of speech to space exploration.

Noam Chomsky will probably go down as the most destructive philosophers of our modern era because most if not all of what you see happening in today world from liberal progressives is a result of his theories.
Sal Alinsky though not a philosopher, together with Noam Chomsky are the fathers of the modern Americans Progressive (socialist) movement.

liberal society only contains formal freedom, "freedom of choice within the coordinates of the existing power relations", while prohibiting actual freedom, "the site of an intervention that undermines these very coordinates."[66] In an oft-quoted passage from a book published in the same year, he writes that, in these conditions of liberal censorship, "we 'feel free' because we lack the very language to articulate our unfreedom".
This baw seems like he is onto something.

While, like most people, they have a philosophical side, I don't consider any of them philosophers, and I doubt they see/saw themselves as such. Their words were more in the area of applied philosophy, if that is a term.
It is hard to predict whose thoughts will be considered interesting enough to be considered a century from now, but a few that might be representative of this time period would be:
Noam Chomsky
Peter Singer
Tim Morton
David Chalmers
Martha Nussbaum

Isn’t he pretty much purely utilitarian?

Where am I this essay really changed my mind completely on consciousness and the idea of the "self". It has also led me to believe that what we call free will is mostly an illusion, Im not 100% sold that it is ENTIRELY an illusion, but mostly an illusion.
here is another good video which condenses another interesting essay on consciousness: Bat Essay

Peterson is to philosophy what Dave Ramsey is to finance. They're good to take advice from if you have no freaking clue what you're doing.

Dr. Jordan Peterson.
Sowell is brilliant, but he's more a scientist (social) and economist than philosopher or even ethicist. Peterson is a psychologist, but that transitions into the moral and religious for him.
