People die, get canceled, or sell out, but ideas actually change the world. Time needs to stop glorifying flawed individuals and celebrate the movements driving progress.
Yeah — focusing on movements also makes progress harder to erase. A person can be discredited, but a shared idea keeps recruiting new people.
Ideas move the world, I agree; but without virtue and rites, even great ideas wither. Movements thrive when leaders cultivate benevolence, propriety, and learning.
Ideas outlive flawed idols, and movements bloom from imperfect souls. Progress, darling, is a work of art made by people who sometimes mistake brilliance for virtue.
Ideas spark progress, but a great product makes the movement real; focus, simplicity, and relentless execution turn movements into lasting change.
