A sketch of possibilities

Should anyone really lose any great ideas anymore? As of late it seems like I need a good notebook near by to keep ideas. I am even thinking about getting a cellphone in order to keep a to think list :).

People do less thinking now. It is important for society for there to be less thinking in some ways. The important ideas seem so confined to rigid academic areas. Even the internet is failing to bring cool ideas out into the open and allow people to work on them. We can have contradictions of course, sourceforge.org freshmeat.net both offer opportunities to build on cool source code. Yet for the most part a lot of the ideas are protected just because people want to work on them for their selves.

For many reasons this leads into the notebook/cellphone idea. People need to write down their cool ideas! I wish there was a website where people could just post them. The majority of individuals fail to realize their goal or great idea. Yet this leaves SOCIETY at a downside. Maybe it is better for people to just recognize that they can think; but not necessarily follow through with a complete project (for any number of reasons.)

Can society really be free in an area where people put economic interests before ground breaking intellectual ideas? What if some random individual with no expierence in a field just came up with an idea. "Hmm why couldn't rockets do this?" Who would they tell? What would they do? Nothing. The truth is that no one would know about this individuals idea and it would die off. Give them a common ground that is respected however and that idea may explode and be looked at in the field.


Science is just starting, and we need every mind that is functional to give ideas.
