Heroes
Anyone with the guts to speak up against conventional wisdom when it is obviously flat wrong. It's lonely being the first person to speak up, and in fact many in history have been executed for such. However, once that first person speaks, the second and third are able to chime in "me too" and before you know it a hundred thousand have spoken in agreement, and all of a sudden conventional wisdom isn't so conventional anymore, and the world has changed for the better. So yeah, my heroes are the people who get that process rolling. (Although, it's always amusing to watch those who rail against conventional wisdom when it's right.) Also, Kraftwerk.
