There’s no such thing as a truly original idea. It is all just combining A+B!
- jopsen 2mo agoSometimes you generalize A into A'. But often results are incremental and obvious. But also if you jumped from A to A''''', nobody would understand why or what it relates to.
- Quarrelsome 2mo agoif someone did have a truly original idea, then everyone would probably think it was terrible anyway and we'd all ridicule them, because we'd have no frame of reference for X + Y if all we know is A and B :)
- Barbing 2mo agoCavemen came up with the initial A & B, and we’ve gone from there? (Didn’t think this through much yet!)
- Jensson 2mo agoCavemen invented language, language isn't just combination of concepts, it requires defining all the concepts.
