Evangelism isn't a Bad Thing
Evangelism has kind of a bad name in some circles. The paradox about evangelism is that in addition to being the mechanism used to spread mind viruses, it's also the main way people can have a positive impact on the world. You can have the world's greatest idea, but unless you shout about it, crusade-evangelize-it has no impact.
Notes:
It's that we associate it with zealotry, but in reality nothing get's promoted unless it is evangelized.
