"my gut feeling is that we need 0 innovation to tackle at least 90% of the problems that challenge our societies, us as individuals and humanity as a whole. We just need to grow up and start doing the actual work."

@tante For the examples mentioned (nuclear fission) this might be true. On the other hand it's a bit bizarre, that you are able to write this on a decentralized social network (ActivityPub = innovation) running on a bunch of servers (computers = innovation) connected by the internet (protocol = innovation). So it appears the term "Innovation" is first labelled narrowly in order to run a (valid) argument against it. I would go for "reclaim innovation" instead.
