"Mankind will reach maturity on the day it learns to value diversity—of life and ideas. To be different is not necessarily to be ugly; to have a different idea is not necessarily to be wrong. The worst thing that could happen is for all of us to look and think and act alike."

It is a combination of our differences that shape our view of the world. It is about recognizing, respecting, and valuing those differences.

The theme for Windycon 50 is IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. We chose the theme to celebrate both our range of human differences and the different paths that brought us into fandom.
