I gave you Steve Jobs although others have disagreed.
Two requests/questions for you:
1. Justify the bolded statement. Although I only asked for one example in another post, Steve Jobs is one example of a dick/rule breaker who accomplished a lot. How do you get to
most meaningful breakthroughs of human accomplishment from one?
2. Even if we could agree that "most" meaningful breakthroughs are achieved by rule breakers, how does it follow that mediocre or scumbag rule breakers are allowed to break rules or be dicks? Are you trying to say that all rule breakers achieve "meaningful breakthroughs of human accomplishment?"
