"I'm incredibly impressed by people who organize to achieve a goal, and believe that they can make a difference and then go ahead and do just that. I think it's incredible"
About this Quote
The phrasing does a lot of work. “Organize to achieve a goal” is almost aggressively plain, a kind of anti-slogan that resists the aestheticized version of activism we’re fed online. The middle clause - “believe that they can make a difference” - acknowledges the psychological hurdle: collective action starts as an act of imagination, a refusal to accept that the system is too big or you are too small. Then Apple’s favorite move: a hard cut to the verb. “And then go ahead and do just that.” No romance, no martyrdom, just follow-through.
The repetition of “incredible” is telling, too. It’s not rhetorical polish; it’s genuine astonishment, like she’s describing a superpower she both envies and reveres. In a culture that rewards hot takes and personal branding, Apple is pointing at something quietly radical: coordinated effort that doesn’t need to be performed as identity. The subtext is respect for discipline, for community, for impact measured not in vibes but in outcomes - the kind of praise that feels almost countercultural coming from pop.
