**Tribe of Maniac **

Successful individuals often owe much of their achievements to their connections with other innovators and visionaries. This phenomenon is evidenced by historical examples such as Steve Jobs and his impressive circle of friends, all of whom were influential figures in technology and business. Similarly, renowned thinkers and artists throughout history, like Isaac Newton, Gertrude Stein, and the Inklings, thrived within their own tight-knit groups, fostering creativity and collaboration. The idea proposed is that greatness does not emerge in isolation; rather, it is cultivated through shared experiences and mutual support among like-minded individuals. Those aspiring for immense success must actively seek out or create their own 'tribe of maniacs,' as working in solitude rarely leads to groundbreaking achievements. The cultural context and the idealism of one's time further amplify the potential for success when surrounded by such a network. Therefore, to achieve extraordinary things, one must prioritize forming relationships with fellow innovators and be part of a collaborative community.
