I don't think it has to do with imagining the solutions, but with avoiding the power issues that come when people try to take baby steps at scale, and overcoming the "efficiency holes" where people have found good enough local minima across the economy. How do you convince people to "dream small" when our instinct is to want to implement our ideas nationally? How do you incentivize people to [hopefully temporarily] decrease efficiency and increases costs in the search of something better?
