I thought I should write down some stuff, again, about Inventing.
There is a great deal of horseshit about along the general lines of
a) Ideas are worthless, only implementation has any value
b) The only way to be creative is via an artistic process and that must be collaborative.
I’m not sure why these myths persist, but my suspicion is that it’s because most people just don’t have many ideas…so their view that these are either unimportant, or as a result of groups, tends to dominate.
I think collaboration and implementation are both great (and often very important), but let’s not kid ourselves that they are essential -or that good ideas are valueless.
