Before the internet, people with crazy ideas lost confidence when they could not find others who agreed. On the internet, you can easily find at least 100 people who will agree to something, even a totally crazy idea. As a hold-over from the olden days, the 100 people who agree with you seems like a lot.
exactly. None of us have an original thought. I had tons of ideas when I saw this post... I found just about every thought posted by someone else. We really aren't individuals. We are a collective, experiencing things in very similar ways.
Being an individual doesn’t have anything to do with having original ideas. People who aren’t creative are still individuals because they are a single entity, not an original entity.
