Ideals about ideas

I'm perhaps an idealist.

Never cling to an idea. Be prepared to tear it down and start again. Reduce to the seed and the purpose, the core not the almost finished article.

This can be a painful process but the ideas themselves get better and more refined. Value and betterment of an idea is not lost to emotions.

Another is understand that no idea is a stroke if genius or something which is valuable in itself. What is done and what happens as a result. That us what I percieve as useful ideas.

Some people will only ever find a few ideas in their lifetime and this poverty may be why some cling to their ideas as if they were children. To let go and to start again from basic principles seems like a mad folly to those who've not gotten used to working on an idea and being committed to its development.

People think they own ideas and that's a load of shit. Ideas are free and for the good of humanity. And idea done is better than an idea patented, or worse an idea not done because of stupid patent laws. Perhaps this poverty of ideas is part of this ridiculous instanity in the real world.

Most of all taking credit for an idea. This is barmy. Anyone who's ever come up with a real new idea, something totally new, will know that there are a million and one influences. In this I percieve the moment of the idea as small and the tree of people extending behind it, the moments and the experiences, the chaos of inspiration and all the rest which combine perfectly for one brief moment when a good idea happens.

Be it the teacher who taught you to think outside the box or the pretty girl who smile and triggered a burst of neurotransmitters which jogged a memory which triggered a thought about the idea you were working on there is a ton of other people and things which go into a great new idea.

And, of course, there is the entity or entities. Whatever you think is your self...may not be. The other self or selves is also involved with ideas.

Most of all ideas...actually....I have no conclusion on what is most important. The idea, the reason for the idea, the impact and negative, the outcome or the ideal it represented at the start?
