52. "Innovation can’t happen without accepting the risk
that it might fail. The vast and radical innovations of the
mid-20th century took place in a world that, in retrospect,
looks insanely dangerous and unstable. Possible
outcomes that the modern mind identifies as serious risks
might not have been taken seriously — supposing they
were noticed at all — by people habituated to the
Depression, the World Wars, and the Cold War, in times
when seat belts, antibiotics, and many vaccines did not
exist. "
— Neal Stephenson, Innovation Starvation
