Indeed something could be inspiring without being meaningful, but that isn't what I am talking about- I am talking about ideas that are specifically useful insights- inspiring because they pointed me to a useful solution to a real problem, or to navigate a technical problem in a different way that led to a solution. For me his most functionally useful and inspiring ideas have been in the realm of philosophy of engineering- he has a process for thinking about problems that avoids a lot of pitfalls that cause people to reject new or weird ideas. His ideas are concrete, specific, and very well thought out- he is a brilliant guy. If you've read his books and they seem like Chopra mixed with math jargon, and you can't see how they are useful for real world engineering problems, you are simply not understanding him.
