RE: Where Do Ideas Come From?

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I'm not into universal consciousness and vibrations and all that stuff, but this question is something I think about from time to time. On a more esoteric theoretical scientific level you have concepts like Penrose and Hammeroff's quantum consciousness which as far as I understand it could allow for randomness in thinking such that ideas would just pop into existence. But on a more grounded level you have really ground-breaking ideas like Einstein's relativity and Copernicus's heliocentrism. Ideas that existed so far outside of current orthodoxy that you really have to marvel how they came up with them. I don't think it was anything non-material. It just that these guys were geniuses and geniuses can effortlessly put together seemingly disparate points in a way that the rest of us ordinary folk can't.

Sort:  

Heck yeah I appreciate this I really do. I am aware of some of the work you mentioned but I will have to do a deep dive on this material.

And yeah that's one area I disagree with you on. Us humans have a tendency to idolize humans like celebrities we think we aren't the same but we actually are.

Einstein and Copernius were just humans like us, just doing things like us. Either one of us, me or you, could be a genius just like them and the other peson would have no idea.

That's what I love about Steemit your pre-conceived notions are opened up here and truths are exposed.

I am excited to see you around buddy, really appreciate your time and attention.
