** FEEL FREE TO LISTEN AT 2X SPEED **
Why are we in this innovation "rut"?
Its safety over innovation
From the 1880s to 1950s where there was so much innovation going on - it was crazy
Since then, we've hardly invented anything
We are so concerned about hurting ourselves that we are holding ourselves back
Look at the invention of the car and the plane. People used to be willing to be hurt or die in the pursuit of innovation. Now we don't
Every disaster pushes us back so far. Why can't we just move forward?
Right to try is the right way to go
We've pulled back on ourselves - we ask "should we" too often
We need to be willing to innovate at the expense of our safety and security
We need to create innovation zones where people are free to innovate without fear. Inventions can run free.
