If innovation can't happen until the ignorant are enlightened we're never going to see innovation.

- sokoloff 5y agoInnovation is all around you. It's just not the type of innovation that requires elected government officials to participate (and in a way that will frustrate some of their supporters). You're likely reading this on a device that was invented while plenty of ignorant people were still not enlightened.
- munk-a 5y agoI completely agree and that's almost my entire point. Innovation that depends on the ignorant being enlightened is almost impossible to accomplish - innovation needs to work around ignorance and accomplish itself through smaller steps that provide benefits to everyone. I really wish this weren't the case as it gives immense momentum to doing things the wrong way - but it's something we need to cope with. (I admit I may have worded my comment a bit better with a "that" - 'If innovation can't happen until the ignorant are enlightened we're never going to see that innovation.')
- elboru 5y agoYeah, let’s impose our benevolent superior ideas on the ignorant majority. I’m sure no one has tried that before and it has never lead any country into dictatorship.
- wittycardio 5y agoOften the majority is very ignorant. You don't need to jump to dictatorships to change their mind, marketing and innovation have proved more than enough
