> Ideas are a dime a dozen. This is one of those statements that say more about the person not having ideas than about ideas. One could say it was an idea in it self so poor it should have vanished in the pile of crap never to be heard about by anyone - if only they had two or three more. History is full of accomplished people who thought everything was invented already. The truth is that we started rubbing sticks together two weeks ago. In the cosmic sense we don't even have a life span. Our average memory cant compete with a single sheet of a4 paper. It is a miracle we can find time to fit in an original thought in the cracks between earning a living, reproducing, eating, sleeping, house keeping, social interactions and personal hygiene. And then we have this preference for keeping things the way they are. Something new, however adventurous, really has to make an effort to overcome that one! I bet 99% gets debunked by the person having the thought. Patents are only interesting if what you are really looking for is money or fame. It's an inferior mind set compared to curiosity. You decide what counts, not the guy willing to give you a shiny dime for what could be that single awesome original thought you got to have in your life span but only after you share it. ha-ha The stuff people discovered is actually so bizarre that if you described it to people 100 years before it would sound utterly absurd. In the future our fellow apes will descend from the trees and rub sticks together? Then the other monkey looks at you from the corner of their eyes while tilting their head. Of course before that one of them had to come up with the idea to go live in trees! Imagine what bad idea that was. Or how about crawling onto the beach and living on land. The other fish must have been like, dude?!?! stop eating the pink sea weed!
