That can happen if a person has an interest in different domains. Most likely, it will happen when different people, with different interests, have the opportunity to come together to share their experience and knowledge in order to solve a common problem. And, you are 100% right, this is what the Innovation Exchange is trying to enable. And we all know that real innovation arises when different domains are brought together.

I was thinking something along the same lines just a couple of days ago. In fact, we live in a society where we need to be a lot more protective towards ourselves and the ones we love. And that, as you say, is taking the freedom and the joy away from our lives. And although I believe that the challenges and risks you face when you are young will make you grow up to be a stronger, better individual, I feel that the challenges and dangers, today, are too big to risk. It's not about falling and bumping with your head, it is about being kidnapped or killed because of a handful of coins. And that plays on your mind no matter what.
