Our intellectual curiosity is a very powerful thing and with great power comes great responsibility.

If anything is applied it becomes a defining ingredient of our society. Products we buy and services we use partially define who we are both personally and collectively.

To me that means that before you create a product or service, before you unleash the curiosity, you might as well ask yourself what kind of people you want to create.

Forget tinkering with whatever random thing is thrown in front of you. Put them all in a bag, carry it around and carefully examine some when you have the time.

There has to be something in the bag that modifies the humans in your preferred way.

What is wrong with people? What is their problem? You decide!
