Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible. ~Zappa
Politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex. - FZ
Frank Zappa was awesome. I wonder if he ever hung out with George Carlin, I feel like that chat would be amazing.
Positive feedback is an active choice. It is impossible to create positive change from negative feedback.
Cool quote, but incorrect.
What is considered a deviation from the norm is HIGHLY subjective, a society where the norm is to embrace new ideas would be the opposite of this quote.
Even a society with norms that are more conservative, progress is being made, though quite slow.
There are also times when norms have been challenged, and ended with disaster, just look at OceanGate's Titan, Stockton Rush deviated from the norms of deep water submersibles, and no progress was made, meanwhile other subs built on existing norms have made a lot of progress
