Haha :) in all seriousness i do think there is a lot to innovate in the software realm, especially in the infra which is both crucial and underhyped. But again, i wasnt really talking about atoms vs bits, more like innovation in all areas (atoms, bits, political ideas etc).

Yeah maybe testosterone levels or something have fallen in our population. Too much birth control in the water. I don't know. That said, there are a lot of cool things happening at the margins that people don't talk about enough: Bitcoin, mobile biking/scooters, int'l e-com

self-driving cars, AI...I dunno...not sure we're just doing dumb apps (though certainly many are.)

I mean its certainly not zero. But people do talk a lot about bitcoin and self driving cars and AI a lot, no? And yeah of course we cant decide this objectively. But for me when the laziest ideas can get 10m in funding thats a sign of lack of creativity.

Not enough creativity or too much money chasing an increasingly elusive return?

Both, the supply demand trade off shifted. Next question, why is the return so elusive?

haha yeah, good point.

You know what would be cool? Compile the corporate size distribution for the past 2 centuries in the USA and Brittain. See if theres some relationship between SME eras vs large corp eras and innovativeness.
