I disagree with your first statement. I would say that many people do it. A few are also good at execution. I think these few are the ones ,for example, who start successful startups. I think many people, when they hear something from someone, judge. "That's cool." or "That's dumb" As for the market, I am trying to discover if there even is a market for what I am good at. I don't care if it is limited, I am just wondering if the fact that someone can have original ideas that are important may well go the way of the dodo. Is inventiveness becoming a commodity? If you look back hundreds of years ago, a lot of major discoveries were arrived at independently in a fairly close time frame. That was with fewer people in the world, and even fewer of them educated (comparing to modern times). Nowadays I am pretty sure that every idea I may have is being thought up by 500 other people at the same time. Will there be any value in me trying to refine myself as an idea maker? To make better ideas? Or will something like YC eventually be a place for a team to apply with their skills then pick an interesting idea from the twittersphere and execute it to phenomenal success? By the way, I am not shy of execution (I have been self employed most of my life) and I have seen plans through to fulfillment. I just feel that when I am managing the details, making every point of an idea go through, I am not doing what I am best at. You are completely right about having more ideas than we can implement. I just don't like this status quo, and I'm trying to find a way to change it. I am sorry, but I completely didn't understand your last sentence. I should make a story about who?
