@okalmaru Is it an innovation if it doesn't stick?

This is really me taking a dump on the concept of innovation as something always positive. Obviously there are plenty positive examples, and plenty bad examples. We need to focus - as you are doing here - on outcomes, not on "newness".

@okalmaru But we also need to be very careful about who gets to decide a "net positive".

@okalmaru My company name is Axbom Innovation, so I'm also critiquing my own obsolete ideas of what brings value. 😂

Innovation does not mean it makes the world better. It just means it sticks.

For every innovation we need to continuously ask not only what problems it solves but what problems it creates.

The fact that something creates a shitload of problems does not make it less innovative.

I think about this every time I hear the title "serial entrepreneur".

That is to say, a "serial entrepreneur" could potentially be someone who created shitloads of problems in several iterations.

There is nothing about this "epithet" that in itself infers credibility or valiance.

I put together a private newsletter for my close and extended family (aunts, uncles, cousins) for personal letters with family updates from me. Sent the first one on Sunday and I'm now e-mailing with an uncle I haven't talked to in over 10 years, not hung out with in 30+ years.

Finding e-mail addresses was perhaps the tricky part. But seriously, not that tricky to ask around for e-mail addresses from those closer to you.
