We were looking out the window and I said to Jean “Wow, imagine inventing a car.”
Jean said nobody invented the car from nothing. So many people had to invent so many things. (Sorry this is a little bit long) 1/

No one person invented a car, she said. Someone had to build a box to carry stuff. Someone realized a rolling round thing made moving heavy things easier.
Someone invented a wheel, and an axle. It’s exciting to think about, all over the world

Nothing happens from one person. Someone invented the engine, and the steering wheel. Someone invented a brake. Someone else invented a windshield and a windshield wiper.

Some inventions aren’t about being bigger or faster. Someone invented a seatbelt. Someone invented traffic signals.
Someone invented car seats to protect the most fragile passengers, so moving forward doesn’t leave people behind

Think of all the people who made a wheel and a seatbelt. Isn’t it weird that one space jerk thinks HE is the one changing the world? Doesn’t he know how many smart people it took for him to be a big dumb showboat?

Nobody does anything great alone. What if the person to invent that next tweak forward can’t afford to go to school, or can’t afford to just sit and think about smart stuff? What if they have a toothache that day, and can’t afford to see a dentist?
What if we invested in that?
