I just came back from Israel where I was studying innovation. I discovered a land of pirates. The lines on the roads are merely suggestions. All rules aer open for negotiation. And they believe they can do anything. Amazingly, they accomplish the most amazing things. This land of paradox is full of new technology in the middle of ancient cities.

When I asked people about innovation, two elements seem to drive it. One, the common element of the army and the need to protect Israel. This is accompanied with an amazing hope for the future. Hope for a peaceful future, hope for solving problems and building a safe land.

I came back inspired.
Inspired spiritually and artistically. Inspired to make a difference in this world.
Inspired to have even more piratical adventures.
