what we are doing
will solve these issues.

00:48:53,138 --> 00:48:54,306
But I do know that

709
00:48:54,389 --> 00:48:59,144
what we are doing will
generate prototype of new way

710
00:48:59,227 --> 00:49:02,606
of doing things, which we
desperately need right now.

711
00:49:02,689 --> 00:49:05,401
Because if you're
trying the same things

712
00:49:05,484 --> 00:49:07,820
and then expecting
a different result,

713
00:49:07,903 --> 00:49:09,321
that's the definition
of insanity.

714
00:49:09,404 --> 00:49:13,659
So I feel like it is crucial
that we try something new.
