Goal

Why introducing currency if it requires more work to do?

• incentive to optimize
• drive creativity to "outsmart" the system
• make choices users believe in
• use daily life skills
• provide a game-like environment
• facilitate opportunity-cost mindset

Pressure as a driver for creativity

Examples :

• Entrepreneurs : they need to transform opportunities to successful structures
• Artists : they need to transform materials to express their visions
• Convicted : they need to find original ways to escape the wards
• Society : high availability of energy, no requirement to invest in new alternatives solutions (example of towns in the middle of American deserts )
  • thus based on peak oil hypothesis, an idea management tool will be more than required pretty soon (show the 2 correlated bell shaped curves)

Pressure -> drive to innovate No pressure -> need to avoid innovation as it is a costly process, innovation requires creativity which is expensive

Creativity is expensive because it requires :

• risks investments (highly unknown result)
• a specifically adapted environment
• tools
• knowledge
• time
• skills
• methods

Innovation is thus a lost in a non-pressurized environment (at t, not necessarily at t+1 though)

We can thus expect to find top innovators in highly pressurized environments. Identifying those environment can thus help find the individuals with whom we can learn from.

Pressure

Pressure can be defined as an environment with few available resources.

{$ \exists P\rightarrow \frac{d(Cr)}{dt}>0 = SoCr $}

Difficulties to integrate new information in an external system

Find visual praise for every time an idea is written down IN the system (constantly showing that short-term goals help long-term goal, help to connect the dots and remember the big picture)
