Most new ideas are bad.

There’s a reason people haven’t done it before.

Just like most mutations are evolutionary dead ends.

The thing about capitalism is that it is an emergent system.

Like all evolutionary mechanisms,

powered by mutations.

And in this case, what the mutations are

are very weird people

trying new stuff.

And when we need really big progress, big new stuff,

that means we need really, really weird people.

I'm not saying that every weirdo has

a brilliant apocalypse-averting idea

that also happens to be a viable commercial enterprise.

The way forward is to figure out what the public and private sector can each do best

and help them figure out how to stay in their lane.

Weirdos trying stuff and sometimes being allowed to fail at it

are our best hope as a species.
