Hi friends 👋,

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend.

We talk a lot about progress here in Not Boring. Progress can be difficult and messy and winding, and importantly, progress moves at different speeds and follows different paths for different kinds of products. Today’s essay is my thinking on two types: science experiments and social experiments.

Successful science experiment products clearly move the world forward; social experiment products are less obviously beneficial and messier in the short-run, but I think they’re every bit as important in the long run, especially in combination with science experiment products.

This is a “thinking out loud post.” I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

Let’s get to it.
