unless you have telescopic eyes.
Now, watch Apple’s Think Different Ad in Youtube on the next slide.

If you don’t have the time, please read the transcript on the page after the video.
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.




The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
In Reality


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




The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
BUT WHY?
What we used to do to
                Crazy People

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




The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
What we’re doing to
                Crazy People

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




The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
Going back to the point—

Can a Crazy Person Change the World?
WHY?!
Crazy’s Greatest Enemy:
                Social Pressure

                Of course, everyone wants to fit
                in and feel like they belong.




The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
What does Social Pressure
look like?




                            The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
But what if we can magically
                                   turn this Social Pressure into
                                   something entirely different…

Social Support


                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.




The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
So we now say




                The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
How do we get them
                         together, soldier?

What is
                The Classroom?

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




The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
In short


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




The Classroom   www.crazyintheclassroom.com
How does it work?
