    I 100% don’t agree. There’s bullshit masquerading as innovation, and all kinds of harmful technology, but innovation (read: technology) has given us everything of actual value that we have.

      Great for you but darpanet was a government project and it gave us a lot of what we have.

        Not sure what point you’re making. Think I covered all those bases in my message.

          Innovation is a business term. I dunno why corporate stooges still exist.

            Etymology:

            innovation (n.)

            mid-15c., innovacion, “restoration, renewal,” from Late Latin innovationem (nominative innovatio), noun of action from past-participle stem of innovare “to change; to renew,” from in- “into” (from PIE root *en “in”) + novus “new” (see new). Meaning “a novel change, experimental variation, new thing introduced in an established arrangement” is from 1540s.

            I am not using it in a business sense. Hell, crypto’s not even supposed to be there for business, it’s getting milked in the same way the web did - didn’t mean the web was bad, and doesn’t mean crypto itself is bad. The core tech is just a linked list of cryptographic proofs that establishes a global state. All this memecoin type shit just plays on ignorance and hype.

              Yeah cuz you meant it in the Latin, not in the way it’s actually used and not in the way I was calling it bullshit…🥱

              Lol so you’re into business garbage and crypto?

              Good for you. 👍

                You just trying to be a dick or what? “Innovation” just means coming up with anything clever. I’m not into business garbage, I’ve been sitting here in this thread calling out scams and memecoins and other bullshit for two or three comments already.

                  Innovation as spoken about in board rooms and business meetings is bullshit. There; that work for you?

        And private enterprise took it mainstream. I was there, I was part of it.

          Private enterprise made it terrible. I was there, I was a part of it.
