I was thoroughly impressed by this call to action. Emiliano Salinas is a son of a former president of Mexico and in essence he's spoken to a lot of people in Mexico and the effect is that people in that country are beginning to see the wisdom of peaceful protest in response to the acts of terrorism and kidnapping in that country. Salinas pointed out two separate events that triggered people to band together in protest of kidnappings and the net effect was that the hostages were released without ransom in either situation.
Point 1.) Innovators should work together in order to increase the synergy of particular innovations that could change society.
Point 2.) Society can evolve into something better if people choose to overcome their fear of working in groups. Sometimes a horrific trigger will stimulate the advent of teamwork where it was not observed prior.
