The bottleneck is vetting and implementing well. There are plenty of ideas floating around. People love to volunteer creative ideas. When a HackerNews post recently asked, they got flooded with them. (I suggested "dynamic relational" as the Next Big Thing.) And sometimes it just requires luck for something to catch on.
- afpx 9y agoIdeas do not necessarily translate into creativity. All Humans have ideas. But, extremely few ideas are creative. Most ideas are like monkeys tapping on a keyboard - that is, it doesn’t take much to propose ideas that ‘bend, break, and blend’ (as the one author describes the process). Children do those things well, but children rarely create. Creativity requires things like bounding, insight, awareness, extrapolation, and intuition among other things. And, the truly creative person usually knows that what they’re doing is the ‘creative’ thing to do.
