RE: Innovate or Get left behind | a Steemit or a Life Philosophy?

To bridge my comment and your reply... as long as there's some underlying 'substance' to the innovation, fair enough.....

Oddly your post made me think of Madonna... who is an innovator, often thought of as someone whose reinvented herself many times over the years... but at the same time she's got some kind of 'thread' running all the way back through those 40 years, rooted mainly in dance (she is an amazing dancer) I think, rather than music or even just general performance.... so she innovates form but there's some 'root art' running all the way through her performance history.

So while I generally don't like pop culture, I've actually got time for Madonna because there is some underlying integrity there.

Maybe I'm just lucky to have 'found my thing' before social media was invented! I have this horrific image of younger people floating around the internet experimenting with all sorts of things trying to get attention and never getting noticed... whereas they may be better off spending 10 years offline learning the piano (or whatever) and then they've got much more chance of getting recognition, and even if the don't get that, at least they can play a half decent lament! Or perhaps it's the pseudo-academic in me?

What kind of bike d'you have.. (M.Z.s aren't generally regarded as 'good' bikes btw!)

EDIT: It just occurred me that this video is the kind of 'depth with innovation I appreciate'.... Paul Wheaton with a 12 minute video on why energy saving lightbulbs are BS...!
