I created this blog in response to reading a book called Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn.  Quinn completely redefined my perception of society by uncovering the meta messages of our culture and showing how we’ve gotten to this point.  If you haven’t read it yet, I urge you to go out and buy it, or read it online here.  I guarantee it will be worth your while.

Some people change reality; they don’t just “think outside the box”, they destroy it, forever changing the path forward.  Galileo, Edison, the Wright Brothers, Steve Jobs… They altered history by redefining our planet’s location in the solar system, by lighting up the night, by giving us flight, by putting the world at our fingertips.  These are oversimplifications, of course, but without their contributions, our history would inevitably be unrecognizable.

This is a blog dedicated to exploring and documenting those changes; to figuring out what sets these people apart, and to trying to help anyone “explode the box”.  Enjoy
