Ideas multiplication – by George Bernard Shaw

We speak a lot about creativity and the fact that creativity happens when two unrelated ideas meet.

Two green apples
Two green apples of creativity

I like that quote from George Bernard Shaw:
If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas

Think about it. A century ago ideas met at the rate of a man on a horse. Today ideas meet millions or billions times more often in the same timespan. The Fourth Revolution is there. Ineluctable.

Go out and encounter new ideas! And create new ones! And share…
