Paul Graham teaches you how to be a visionary instead of a sheep! "be less aware what conventional beliefs are". Knowing what other people believe is for shmucks! Especially when you're starting a company, when you're supposed to be... uhm... aware of these people's unmet needs.. (http://www.paulgraham.com/think.html)

Doing business with the ICE and facilitating human rights violations is *gasp* political? Is sexism (against women) really a thing? Is climate change that big of a deal?
