There's a great book by Matt Ridley called How Innovation Works. It basically dispelling the myth that shit gets invented. Everything is this process of like, oh, somebody tweaks this thing. Somebody takes somebody else's thing, combines it with that thing. You don't wake up and go Yeah. Oh, I have the idea for the perfect vacuum. The point is 15 years, right? Like it took 15 years. Do five thousand protests. Bro, five thousand. What did you ever try doing on the first try, James? Did you try making the vacuum on the first Try?
