Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may 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.
Upvoted because the idea is good, although I think that a lot of people have already pointed out the irony of “be a rebel by buying our mass-produced product!” slogans in general. (Tangent: In Stross’s “Jennifer Morgue” this irony is used as part of a demonic summoning ritual to zombiefy people.)

Those two sets aren’t always disjoint.
Didn’t say they were. Tesla, Erdős.
