An idea a day keeps Alzheimer’s at bay

An idea itself is an often useless thing. I have hundreds, if not thousands of ideas per month, and most of them are absolutely rubbish and not good for anything. They repeat too, and I’ll forget that they repeat. I forget if I don’t write them down. Link to my list of ideas above. I update it whenever I have some extra time.

Some old guy in my extended family, who is the professor who kicked Bill Gates out of Harvard said I shouldn’t publish these. Another old rich guy said ideas are cheap, and that it is only the execution of the ideas that matters. You decide I guess.
