1. The innovativeness of the individuals that created things that link communities together with technologies (like facebook or blogging). The creation of these things that have never been thought of before through unconventional ideas
2. A joint stock company is what he called society once because we work together for a common share of everything. He also calls it minors and invalids. He said that even though you may not fit in or if your 'different' you have the potential to be an innovator. Unique and nonconformity are good things
3. They were misunderstood, innocent in their action but not quite accepted within the inner loop kind of thing. He said consistency leads to nothingness basically. "self reliance is its aversion"
4. The word foolish just emphasizes how strongly he feels about doing the same things as everyone else. He said that people that govern things love the status quo and may be uneasy if regulations stray from the norm. I think that Emerson would never condone consistency. He seems adamant about being different.The word choices are hard core in spots (like when he said foolish)
5. Divines say things that often contradicting themselves and their rules. They don't do anything with their lives apparently. I believe that Emerson would say that a person's reason for living is to create new ideas and stray away from the cliques in society.
6. "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds..." I like this quote because it says (to me) that being not-normal is a good thing. Shallow thinkers never really release the potential their minds have. Digging deeper and thinking outside the box has always made me think about unconventional thing that occasionally blow my mind like 'What if that coud actually happen' kind of thing. It also makes me think that no matter what people who says "thats a stupid idea" are just little minded people with regular, dull thoughts
