Who is your favorite historical figure?
Detached from reality or insanely locked in? History favors the different, the tinkerer, the disruptor. They are not neutral.
Some are irrational, with deliberation. A despot continues committing crimes to preserve power. But that modus operandi is not radical enough. Exercising an iron fist without a benevolent purpose reflects a deep vagueness. Self-interest needs rewiring.
What is practical is revolutionary. It takes a visionary to distill the chaos of infinite variables into a coherent design. Creating a product, whether it’s a smartphone, a book, or a peace deal, liberates one from uncontrollable fear.
Innovation is the pragmatist’s razor. Shared ideas, philosophies, and widgets empower the slicing of chaos with clarity. Novelty, when done right, isn’t just interesting, it’s transformative. Such figures, often ruggedly individual, compel broader action.
