A corporate innovation leader told me his company was good at “failing slowly & at scale.” Nature does the opposite: it pushes innovation to the boundary, to individual cells or organisms. If mutations fail the ecosystem is fine. If they succeed the ecosystem learns & adapts.

.@FishersParks @FishersIN disgusted that you’ve chosen to charge non-residents a $50 parking fee — strong signal against inclusion: you’re legislating attendance by income bracket. Far better beaches & communities to be part of. I’ll stay Downtown #Indy wrtv.com/news/local-news/fis… – at Indianapolis, IN
