Everyone wants to believe that they'd support "the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers". That they too would cheer for those who are "not fond of rules. And... have no respect for the status quo".But they won't and they don't. Most people are either aggressively or passively conformist. They squirm when The Crazy Ones actually attempt to change the world. They don't see genius as often as they see transgressors. A failure to comply and comport. And they don't like it.
Look at the history of humanity, and we will have countless people who were ostracized for behavior that is not considered standard in society and are later recognized as geniuses.
