No more light bulbs!

Agenda
• Light bulbs debunked
• Road to innovation
• Provoke the future
• State of mind

What?

The light bulb analogy
suggests that good ideas &
innovations occur in an
instant flash of genius.

It also suggest that they
are easy, just like
turning on a light bulb.

And it suggest that they are the
result of a single source of
light brighter than all others.

It’s not that immediate, it’s not
that easy, it’s not that exclusive

been playful, rebellious, and immature”

Superstruct is the world’s first massively
multiplayer forecasting game. By playing
the game, you’ll help us chronicle the
world of 2019--and imagine how we might
solve the problems we'll face.
Because this is about more than just
envisioning the future. It’s about making
the future, inventing new ways to organize
the human race and augment our
collective human potential.
