Ideas Going Away Fixed

More From Michael Nesmith

It is the fixed that horrifies us, the fixed that assails us with the tremendous force of mindlessness. the fixed is a mason jar,and we can't beat it open. ...the fixed is a world without fire--dead flint, dead tinder, and nowhere a spark. it is motion without direction, force without power, the aimless procession of caterpillars round the rim of a vase, and i hate it because at any moment i myself might step to that charmed and glistening thread.
Hate Fire Vases
If you hear a good idea, capture it; write it down. don't trust your memory. then on a cold wintry evening, go back through your journal, the ideas that changed your life, the ideas that saved your marriage, the ideas that bailed you out of bankruptcy, the ideas that helped you become successful, the ideas that made you millions. what a good review-going back over the collection of ideas that you gathered over the years. so be a collector of good ideas for your business, for your relationships, for your future.
Motivational Memories Writing
The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

Ideas matter a lot, the underlying ideas that stand behind policies. when you don't have ideas, your policies are flip-flopping all over the place. when you do have ideas, you have more consistency. and when you have the right ideas - then you can get somewhere (reagan had the right ideas).
Ideas Consistency Matter
You have to have a lot of ideas. first, if you want to make discoveries, it's a good thing to have good ideas. and second, you have to have a sort of sixth sense-the result of judgment and experience-which ideas are worth following up. i seem to have the first thing, a lot of ideas, and i also seem to have good judgment as to which are the bad ideas that i should just ignore, and the good ones, that i'd better follow up.
Science Discovery Ideas
There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
