So does every worthless project. Valuable projects always have some initial action taken to make the idea a reality.

Initial action, like sharing the idea with a knowledgeable community in an appropriate moment (like here, now), to gather feedback on both usefulness to other people and viability of the proposed path of execution.

  Talk is cheap, executing is valuable/hard/scary.

    Before investing in execution, why wouldn't you weight it up with cheap talk? You think people should dive into execution straight away without forethought?

      I would? I never said not to do that. I'm agreeing with GP that ideas are not very valuable.

Ok, so all projects start with an idea. What is your point then?
- falsedan 9y ago
  That it's easy to have an idea, and I wouldn't count it as when I started a project.
  - Chris2048 9y ago
    The post you originally responded to didn't seem to "count" anything, so what is your point in mentioning this? It was a idea with not much worth, as yet, but your own response has as little worth, but less potential. It seems you just negged them for no reason.

      Just keep discussing ideas, exploring and sharing them, working through the feedback etc. Good luck!

      Your post? > every valuable project starts with an idea though It's a tautology which adds nothing to the understanding of the reader: of course every valuable project starts with an idea, just like every great human being started with an ejaculation. I wouldn't let someone use that fact to justify cranking their hog, much less telling me all about it. I apologise for making you feel like I was attacking that post for no reason. I intended to point out that I thought it was an empty statement which brought me no insight or enlightenment and didn't help me change my mind on the worth of ideas (in a vacuum).

  All idle dreaming starts with an idea too.
