"Great post, however: 1.  It may be true that everything Big will be Mocked and Misunderstood. 2.  But it is almost certainly true that everything Mocked and Misunderstood is not destined to be Big. Right?  It maybe a "Tell" for you that the ideas you think are Big that are also Mocked and Misunderstood are more likely to actually be Big than those that fail to be Mocked.   Just want to make sure that a logical fallacy doesn't creep in.  Mocked and Misunderstood is necessary but not sufficient for success!" - Elliott Ng
