• 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.
