We strongly believe that such a mindset will result in an enhancement of the uniqueness and, ultimately, the happiness of each individual.Former President Donald Trump displayed an unusual attachment to the boxes of materials he brought home from the White House before he was charged with hoarding national security secrets and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them. You should protect the sparkle of uniqueness that you have because it is the one that can allow you to create amazing things and be happy in the long term.Īccording to the case and personal preferences, an intellectually honest person would translate this approach into behavior that sometimes conforms to the majority's and sometimes diverts from it. Never let society's mockery bring you down to its level of mediocrity and dullness. In conclusion, what we mean when we encourage you to Stay Weird is to always follow your own will without feeling the pressure of having to conform to any social norm to fulfill others' expectations. It is clear to us that to do something great that really impacts the world, a person needs to be different, weird, and a misfit, at least to some extent.įor this reason, we consider being weird an extremely positive and, sadly, uncommon feature. Initially, society failed to recognize the genius of people such as Socrates, Giordano Bruno, Vincent Van Gogh, Galileo Galilei, and many others.Įven Leonardo Da Vinci, who today is considered one of the most brilliant people in human history, has been mocked, deemed weird, and a misfit by many people of his time. We can find proof of this by simply observing human history. It usually happens because average people tend to mock and discredit everyone that is different from the norm and proceed to treat them with suspicion and mistrust. However, the mass often fails to see very positive and valuable features within a person just because behaving differently from the rest. This would bring us back to the starting point: subhumans who can't think and behave originally because striving to be part of a specific social category to feel accepted.įirstly, we must say that within society being called weird or a weirdo is usually not a good thing. Indeed this would form another social label under which someone can be easily classifiable.īesides, always being contrary no matter what highlights an inability to think. It would happen because, for example, to be considered an alternative you would need to follow the "rule" of always embracing contrary behavior to the dominant norms within society. In our opinion, Stay Weird does not mean always embracing deviant behavior, because it would be a stretch and would simply create another social category which, in the end, is just another way of conforming. That's why we provocatively encourage you to embrace your weirdness, be proud of it, and Stay Weird. Social labeling pushes people to conform to fit into some social group, robbing that sparkle of uniqueness we all have. We are against any social label because we believe that they create limits that do not fit the extreme complexity of a human being. So, you might also say that a Weirdo is a person who is somehow different from others when considering behavior and way of thinking. Weirdo is just another label created by society to put in a box people that do not fit its usual standards.
