Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. 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. About 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.

Inspiring, wasn’t it?But there’s just one little problem.

Apple’s Vision

presented to us an inspiring but improbable view of a single, crazy person championing his ideas and changing the world.

But that’s just not how it works.


crazy people are hiding under a rock. You hardly see them. A very few of them are actually making a difference in the world.

In Reality

BUT WHY?


We stoned them to death, burned them at the stake and humiliated them in public.

What we used to do to Crazy People


We alienate them, make them feel like losers and shoot down their ideas.

What we’re doing to Crazy People

Going back to the point—

Can a Crazy Person Change the World?

WHY?!

Crazy’s Greatest Enemy:Social Pressure

No crazy man is an island.

If crazy people want to make a difference, they’d have to recruit an army of people sharing the same vision and goals.

Social Support


So we now say

How do we get themtogether, soldier?

Crazy classes or events on just about anything by just about anyone for just about everyone!

What isThe Classroom?


It’s a special hideout for crazy people who share the same interests, dreams and goals.

In short

How does it work?

Guru thinks of an idea and volunteers to host or teach a class!

We lend or rent out the classroom if we find the idea worthwhile.

Both the Guru and The Classroom work together to look for interested minds.

People with same interests have fun, connect with, and support each other!
