The USA has 157 million workers, shuffling 140,000 years of work a day. One in 4 has an idea. One in five of those is a good idea. Two thousand stakeholders can make it an innovative idea. So, they can pump 3.5 years of brute force innovation into the world every single day. That's well over a thousand years of advancement per year.
Critical mass populations that can keep up with their own development are a serious creative force to be reckoned with. And human evolution has been exceeded by innovation, dramatically.
you sound like someone gave chatgpt a prompt about shoving the word innovation into a meaningless set of sentences as many times as possible.
I wouldn't have put it as crudely, but you captured the essence of what I was thinking.
