And by 1855, a bunch of these tall building owners start calling up Otis Elevator, now aptly named, one of the two great elevator companies in the world, Schindler Electric being the other, and called Otis Elevator and said, hey, no one's riding these people movers.
Can we return them?
Some of these building owners say, can we return them?
Of course, Otis goes, no, you cannot return these elevators, but he's got a problem now.
Because he solved the technological threshold.
He solved the empirical problem of moving people up and down the building safely, but he hasn't solved the societal threshold.
So he goes back to the drawing board.
He gathers his executive team together.
He goes, how do we convince people they should ride in these elevators?
Because if we don't, no one's going to buy them anymore.
It doesn't matter if they work.
And they come up with three ways they think they can convince people to ride in the elevator.
That's exactly right.
The feedback was, thank you for calling that out.
The feedback was, no one thinks they're safe.
And actually, more importantly, people are terrified.
They don't even understand them.
There are these mechanical contraptions with steel cages on them that are actually just terrifying in many ways.
So no one wants to get in them.
They go back to the drawing board and they come up with three ways they think they can convince people to ride in the elevator.
