"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

In some way it does, but I think a lot of us have an instinctive understanding of the message, being constantly told - first by parents, then by society at large - that attempts to improve things are weird and should be abandoned.
