Summary

It highlights that novel and groundbreaking concepts can disrupt existing power structures or threaten the interests of those in authority. The potential danger lies not in the ideas themselves but in the resistance they may encounter, as they might provoke fear, resistance, or opposition from those who benefit from the current state of affairs.
