You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward.Maybe they have to be crazy.How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." … remember what Apple promised 1984?

His glasses, shirt and jacket are a completely ironic and intellectual choice to make. On another note, cool words bro. I hope that the movement against such restrictive measures gains more momentum over the next few years otherwise it is going to just get worse and worse. If closed tech bubbles such as the Apple bubble burst then we have a chance to take back rational freedom on the internet. Don’t worry, it’s completely original.
