Webwise? Let’s imagine we all became blind.

Then AI interface would look pretty good.Why can’t I sms Google with my questions?

Turn the wheels of selection to create babies.

Let’s make navigation babies

How fast can we go?

If ideas were virusesLaggards would be the last to catch it.

I would be long dead.

My conclusions

• Publish, publish, publish by different people• Create agile models• If a company is not in « danger », if its environment is not offensive, it won’t evolve much. It will seem more dangerous than tiny changes. No, need to come up with big great propasals, they will be rejected.

A creative person best ennemy is its insecurity !

L’insécurité d’un créatif est son meilleur ennemi.
