First let me say that I enjoy a grabbing headline. I really liked this as it is a awesomely bad movie. Charlie Hesston acted more in that movie than any other previous movies. He gained something about acting he didnt have before. Great for him. I liked the plot of the movie that the Soylent Green substance was made from recycling people. The film is taken from the belief that the earth at some point would have hotter temperatures and be less able to feed people. Then we turn to a very nefarious way. Changing the body into food to feed other humans. You can see this theme in Cloud Atlas. It is not a unknown theme to do something despicable and lie for authority.
Now, if you thought this was a movie review; it’s more of an exploration of ideas. We as a society have always looked to science fiction as a predictor of the potential of wild ideas. I wonder what Elon Musk read as a child. Could that have been a part of his drive to make something happen that was deemed impossible by experts. If we had never had Jules Verne, where in technology would we be. What would have inspired a young man to build a computer company out of his garage, if there was no dream. I believe that we as Americans have time and time found a way to accomplish what has been deemed the impossible.
Being that is what we do is take an idea, make it our own, and work the science until it happens. We only do this when we have had an exhaustive thought about it. It becomes a drive to create the impossible. Then we run back to science fiction and figure out what is next. We will always do that as long as there are always dreamers. The exciters of the soul cry to do what must be done and do more than what they say can be done. This is the heart of innovation. The opposition against innovation drives the innovator to be stronger, smart, better, and full of resolve to do what is impossible.
Hours of this could pass and I would never get tired of saying things about all of us as innovators. Every family has one. The one who wants to feed you a new recipe, make something in the shop, build something, a new app, something new with software, and so many other things. We are innovators. We solve problems no one else can. We continue to look at the past to inspire us. We look to today to guide us. We are full of resolve and never surrender. This is who we are as a people. We build things no one else can build. We hold back the waters of rivers and harness there power for electricity. Any problem out there has a solution. We just need to use the truth and the facts of who we are guide us. Look towards the past as a reminder of what we let happen so that it can never happen again. We can solve the problems of our country with love, respect, openness, and most of all innovation.
