Be aware its an abstract definition. Extreme views are views which are far from the status quo according to a majority. It does not mean the person is an extremist. It does not mean the views are wrong either. Some people with extreme views have accomplished quite some changes in the world -- arguably, both 'good' and 'bad' (very relative & subjective terms).

For example, at least in the past, both Stallman and Gates were extremists in their views. They both wanted radical changes.
