In my opinion, rather than say that solitude sparks "ideas", I think it's more accurate to say that solitude sparks "insights". And by insights, I'm referring to a new understanding or perspective of an issue. And I believe that insights, in turn, are what leads to ideas of new ways to solve the issue. I don't think solitude necessarily means that you have to lock yourself away in a dark hole. I thought of solitude as still seeing the world, whether through books, online communities (like Hacker News), or observing things out in the real world, but still retaining enough private space to think and ponder without distractions.
