DHH has a great post today, one section really caught my attention and is something I've been thinking a lot about recently.
"And that's what gets me. Everyone find it easy to nod in agreement with Jobs' ode to To The Crazy Ones¹. Everyone wants to believe that they'd support "the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers". That they too would cheer for those who are "not fond of rules. And... have no respect for the status quo".
But they won't and they don't. Most people are either aggressively or passively conformist². They squirm when The Crazy Ones actually attempt to change the world. They don't see genius as often as they see transgressors. A failure to comply and comport. And they don't like it."
So GM Nostr. 🌞 Be crazy and non-conformist today.
