One thing I probably could do is raise funding for a small research institution/lab working on problems in the 6-8 range. Maybe 4-5 staff. The thing is I don’t want to run a research org, which is an entirely different interest/ambition than doing research. It takes a COO type.

Also, related, I think a lot of the things in your 7-10 range are zeitgeist phenomenon, not the work of individuals, so the institutional/social frameworks that support the work are in a sense what make the work happen. Not all top-down but definitely not happening in isolation

Points to another kind of innovation that engages 7-10 range ideas: hacking institutional structures that drive this work. AFAIK some of the more transcendent technologies of our generation came from that kind of work (e.g. Visa and GPS). But even then you need a toehold to start
