Radicals
What does it mean to be radical? It means to get to the root of things, to tap a deeper source, to go below the surface of shallow consensus. Radicals are feared because they threaten those in power who rely on the unquestioning acquiescence of the masses. Radicals are persecuted because they are the harbingers of change in a society that clings to stability. Yet radicals are the driving force behind human evolution. All the icons that history has judged to be great were radicals. The etymological root of the word heretic means “able to choose”. Perhaps this gives us a clue as to why they were reviled then and are lauded now. Heretics are messengers of freedom.
— Wayne Visser
