Many people have a belief system that has them convinced that the world of tomorrow will look much like it does today, with the result that when they are confronted by the future, they dismiss it. Of course, they laughed at me.
Two angles to this question: 1) How much knowledge and creativity can we have stored in our brain before the potential for quality use of them drops? Like, should we be discouraging thinking up too many things because it may lead to neglecting the better ones? Quality over quantity? 2) What is a…

He mentions that here. Great ideas are coming out of studying the brain nowerdays. it’s only the beginning of our understanding. Such a complex system.
Hard to argue with this. But I don’t think God or some alien had to think something like a Universe up in order for it to exist. One thing is for sure though, all things AND ideas will perish, leaving no-thing and no-idea.

I heard about this in the video.

I have been looking for a site that does this for years now. Best I come up with is this answer on stack exchange / patents “Yes, there is a list. No, it is not exhaustive. In fact, the patent system is expressly designed for this purpose. We want people to know about expired patents and to use them as they see fit. The USPTO Patent Database provides patent images for all patents since 1970, and text files for all patents since 1976. Every patent issued before 4/10/2000 (as of this writing) is expired. Some patents after that date are expired, depending on whether the patent has been abandoned. There is no list of every single expired patent, but you can produce a list of the bulk of expired patents, and then search more recent ones on a case-by-case basis as necessary.”

I like this, from an answer on quora “Small minds discuss people- Some people are so jobless, I’m sorry if this brings offense to anyone but, they’re so jobless, they back-bite or they talk about another individual’s decisions. They “discuss people,”. They waste their own lives by discussing about the lives of other people.
Average minds discuss events- The same. They discuss events. Not people, events. Events that happen around the world. But events. Something happened at this place earlier? Ah let us talk about it- sort of a thing.
Great Minds discuss ideas- Y’all have a life. One. Life. Why would you waste it discussing about other people or events? Why not make some use out of it and discuss your own ideas to improve your own life rather than loitering around & preventing people from aiming their goals? Use. Your. Life.”
Why do small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas?
