questionadores / desafiadores
Pessoas que não aceitam passivamente as maneiras pelas quais se fazem as coisas, questionando o acerto dos métodos ditos consagrados, achando que podem ser melhorados ou totalmente reformulados.
É através de tais questionadores que a ciência avança: Copérnico, Galileu, Newton, Einstein, todos foram "why notters", alguns pagando caro pelo seu desafio ao "status quo", ao "establishment". Também a arte inova através deles.

#Why-notters [...] are realistic optimists. They ask themselves first where a new idea or a new suggestion could be helpful. When it comes to new and innovative courses of action, they immediately see some promising improvements. Mind you, they are realistic through and through and are also capable of identifying possible hitches to an approach – but not until they reach the second step. You alone have the power to decide whether to focus on the negative aspects in a situation or to see things from a positive angle. In many situations you are powerless to change anything anyway – so why not just concentrate on the positive sides? In our case: a task is a task, regardless of whether it is assigned just before the weekend or at the beginning of the week. So don’t waste your energy getting angry and frustrated. Look for the positive aspects instead – even if the situation is unpleasant. Situations like that give you the opportunity to prove yourself and show that you can be depended on, even when it’s not a good time for you."
