“How do you innovate? First, try to get in trouble. I mean
serious, but not terminal, trouble. I hold—it is beyond speculation, rather a
conviction—that innovation and sophistication spark from initial situations of
necessity, in ways that go far beyond the satisfaction of such necessity (from
the unintended side effects of, say, an initial invention or attempt at
invention)….The excess energy released from overreaction to setbacks is what
innovates!” –Nassim Taleb, Antifragile
