A friend of mine, who I feel a heartfelt man-love and respect, said recently that I am more intolerant of normals than I am of people on the margins. And its true. But it’s because all the ‘interesting’ stuff happens on the margins. If you are a social scientist, a philosopher of man, a curious soul, and an aesthete, then normals are the people you want to work with and politic with, but outliers are the people you want to learn from. They explore the margins.

And that’s where we find innovation.
