New Ideas

[D. Allan]

Even animals can at least "learn" new ideas.  If our attentive feline wishes to sit on my papers, she has learned to move if I whisper in her ear "off!"  Likewise I gain most of "my" new ideas from reading books.  Lessons taught me by others.  Sometimes a new idea will surprise the brain...........  but where does it come from?  Ah.... Only the brain knows!

D. ALLEN   every  person  can  learn a  new  idea---but that  does  not  mean the  idea  is  new  ---some one  else  also  learned  or  new this  idea

I suppose the wisest man ever lived stated that there is nothing new under the sun - hmmmm- did someone think up the Internet way back in Adam's time ???  Guess it would not be a fair statement to say then.  But much more plausible in Solomon's time.  And more in ours. I guess it's the thought - not the execution - that is the main point. Hmmmm

My teacher in the 1950s had an idea that one day people would show up at a station and instantly be transported to their destination with their suitcase in some unknown way. 

If that ever happens it couldn't be called a new idea because  Eld. Sowers thought of it decades ago.
