Innovation

Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. ~ Van Gogh

Philosophical innovation is about bringing deep, complex ideas, systems to the public.

• Cicero brought Stoicism, Epicureanism, Skepticism, to the public.
• Seneca brought Stoicism to the public.
• Marcus Aurelius & Stoicism.
• Benjamin Franklin aggregated millenia-old wisdom and made it accessible to the public (Poor Richard Almanack).
• Krishnamurti brought a mix of extreme skepticism & Buddhism-style Philosophy to the public.
• Naval Ravikant is a philosophical innovator too, he is a sort of Benjamin Franklin, bringing Business 🔨 and Philosophy together in a happy marriage.
• Wright brothers invented airplanes but didn’t bring them to the public, no innovation

While Philosophers like Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Hume did not innovate but instead, invent. What I mean is that they are not accessible to the public, like plastic surgery was only for the deficient at first, is is now available to augment your body, innovated.

Innovation comes sooner or later

Even if Einstein wasn’t born, special & general relativity would have been discovered. Innovation always occurs due to the inherent ergodicity of human society.

wright brother did invent not innovate, ppl who brought plane to the masses innovate
