 People ahead of their time are never popular 
 Yeah, that’s what I keep trying to tell myself too. 
 True with some exceptions. Einstein had global fame. Tesla in early life. Probably others too. 
 Hmm maybe not popular during their time but gained recognition later when mainstream caught up with their work? 
 Yah Einstein still checks that box. He was a huge celebrity worldwide during his lifetime 
 ความจริงมันช้า 
 Similar to people getting their shit together. You never see the grind, you only get to see the glow up afterwards. 
 You’re right 
 always get called crazy ppl 🤣🤣 
 Unpopular people often use this argument to allude to them being ahead of time 😜  
 Perhaps the mission of an unpopular person is to influence society with unpopular opinions. 
If that holds true, the challenge is to find a way to do it. 
Your contents are a great example. 
 That's because they're usually challenging the status quo and everyone has so much sunk cost invested in how things are right now 
 True for common people but not celebs
