And the conformists/cynics completely change their assessment of an idea the moment it actually gets adopted to the mainstream in some way. They just hate everything until it is established, and then they shut up about it and look for some other idea that isn't yet established to hate. It must make them feel really superior to always take the side of the status-quo (winners) against people who think outside the box. Too bad they can't ever come up with an outside-the-box idea for themselves that might make them a real winner instead of just followers of the established status quo.
