glyph#18: explorers, exploration, innovation, creativity, "crazy" individuals ... thought, imagination, genius, persistence ... Apple Computer, television ad by a U.S. corporation ... business & philosophy ... like a fox, perhaps even a Gothic Fox (see Claudio Veliz)

A remarkable television ad that makes a philosophical and aesthetic statement. It catches something fundamental to the Explorers Foundation, perhaps a sense of life, as explained by Ayn Rand.

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs 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. —Apple
