I love this. One of the ideas I've been noodling around in my head is that we can brute force our way through really difficult problems. There are a lot of fricking people on earth. The biggest companies doing research have what, a couple hundred thousand people?

Imagine a 10 million people attempting to solve a single problem. Or a 100 million. Or half a billion people! The one that pops into my mind is climate change. Imagine if we had millions of different experiments going on in parallel and millions of people tinkering on stuff to fix the world.
