Little mistake, medium-sized mistake, big mistake. concept 12
by Filiac



Two things are infinite; the universe and human stupidity and I am not sure about the former. — Albert Einstein

Some of humanity's greatest inventions are the result of human error — or happy little accidents. We owe sticky notes, matches, X-rays, tarte tatin, penicillin and much more to human stupidity. Unintended side effects that changed the world for the better.

Rationality is overrated. When everything goes according to plan, paradigm shifts are rare. The more mistakes we make, the greater the chance of accidentally stumbling upon fundamentally new solutions to our problems.

Hence, we need more mistakes.

You can now make mistakes in the safety of your own home: get a 'My Little Mistake'. Buying this otherwise useless stone will be a mistake. Guaranteed. Place it on your desk as a constant reminder of your foolishness and the potential it holds. A beacon of hope for you and for humanity.

Our mistakes come in three sizes. The bigger the mistake, the bigger the effect. Sometimes a second mistake is needed for optimal effect. Tip: give away a mistake as a present to make it a double mistake.

A certificate of authenticity is included with each mistake. Order your mistake now and enter a world of new insights.
