Ideas not mattering is a psyop - Alexey Guzey
The classic “ideas are worthless, execution is everything” adage is flawed.
Six+ months into an intense software build, I can attest that the little execution details make all the difference. But the constraint on executing well is not operational. It’s more often about having good ideas about how to resolve challenges.

sari azout • Things I'm Thinking About
I once found this idea seductive. Now I find it outrageous. It’s not just because it’s wrong; it’s an affront to the human spirit. People only discover stuff when they think it’s worth trying, and there have been entire eras of human history where people didn’t think it was worth trying. A meme like “ideas are getting harder to find” could drive th... See more
Adam Mastroianni • Ideas aren’t getting harder to find and anyone who tells you otherwise is a coward and I will fight them
When we bemoan the lack of originality in the world, we blame it on the absence of creativity. If only people could generate more novel ideas, we'd all be better off. But in reality, the biggest barrier to originality is not idea generation-it's idea selection. In one analysis, when over two hundred people dreamed up more than a thousand ideas for

Venkatesh Rao • A Brief History of the Corporation: 1600 to 2100
Good ideas — actually, no, great ideas are fragile. Great ideas are easy to kill. An idea in its larval stage — all the best ideas when I first heard them sound bad. And all of us, myself included, are much more affected by what other people think of us and our ideas than we like to admit.... See more

Cultivating a State of Mind Where New Ideas Are Born
Execution is good, sure, but everyone can execute .
Coming to a unique insight and ideas from developing and nurturing a differentiated lens on the world is not something that can be easily replicated.

Don't Undervalue Ideas - My Framer Site
As the expression of ideas becomes exponentially easier, the ideas themselves become more of the differentiator (yes, I think “Prompt Engineering” will become a discipline in and of itself!). Good ideas aren’t derived solely from logic and patterns of the past; they’re also the product of human traumas, mistakes of the eye, and uniquely human inge
