Those that do wrong are bound to the ones they've wronged (whether they know it or not).

New "Robot wars" competition.
End step is "nano" robots use energy to construct themselves, and feed off the energy to destroy the other robots.
Initial step is-
there are multiple sources of energy (a small fan, a lamp giving off natural light,
maybe some sort of other moving "stream" to harness.
Designers build a robot or robots capable of harnessing the given energy and destroying the other robot(s). The only limit is mass.
-no supplied energy othe(including most forms of potential energy). All energy has to be harvested from the sources.

Setting- outside, like in a backyard
No words. Soft piano background music.
Baby is loved and protected in the parents arms.
Baby is allowed to crawl and explored near the parents and is shown to be a little older.
Baby looks out and crawls away a bit. Looks back and sees that the safety of the parents are still there.
As the baby moves away the baby gets older and older, slowly becoming an adult.
Routinely looks back and sees the safety is still there.

A runner on a track oval. The runner is labeled humanity.
Commentary on how we (humanity) are in a race. What are we racing against?- unknown. We are in it anyway.
Infighting (between groups, countries) impedes us; Slows us down significantly.
We are in a race.

On A/C book idea of "building a ship for life"
Safe harbour- the children can explore and learn how to sail, knowing there is safe harbour to come back to.

On chasing general relativity down the rabbit hole of quantum mechanics.
There's been much energy invested in attempting to create a "Theory of everything."
A problem that I've thought of is the problem of chasing down the cause of emergent properties by looking closer and closer into the
practically infinite amount of building blocks that collectively create these properties.*
Using exaggeration as an Example:
Take a property that is an emergent attribute of a "mass"
The property emerges from an infinite amount of "cells"
As you dissect the mass into smaller and smaller parts, the ability to see that which creates the property
becomes more and more difficult to see;
So that when you've delved down to the level of infinite, that which collectively creates this property
is impossible to see.
This is like chasing relativity down the rabbit hole of quantum mechanics. Humans dig and dissect in an attempt to get answers,
yet the more we dig and dissect, the more those answers elude us.
*Additionally this is saying nothing about the interaction of "cells", the information on which is lost through a enough dissection.

We learn more from what we do wrong,
than from what we do right
From a song unknown "The grass isn't greener on the other side, it's greener where you water it"

Product(s)
An "upgraded" form of the slide-show picture displays out now.
A display that a person can have on their coffee table that can rotate through interesting articles. Great for social get-togethers.
A display that a person can have on their coffee table that displays intriguing, funny, etc.
videos taken from the internet (obviously with ads if there are any). Also suitable for social get-togethers.
