that's the thing about ideas. i know that i've often wondered, whenever i come up with my own creative ideas, where these things come from. there are two ways one can think about it.
1) there are infinitely many ideas out there, and so many different combinations and arrangements of these ideas that form new ideas, that it shouldn't be all that incontheivable when one of them is actually brought to light and shown to the world.
2) our minds are our own private idea vessels, and the things we think of are each our own. so when somebody comes up something and you say "man! i never would've thought of that!" well...probably not. it's not among the things that are up there. but now this new exterior idea brings to light many of your own new ideas.
it's kinda funny, because i've actually been thinking about this stuff lately, what with my own little relative surge in creativity lately. i was actually going to write about something like this soon, when i have more time.
Creativity is such a funny thing. But you have a point about other people's ideas shedding new light on our own. That's probably why seeing something new and different tends to prompt my own creative juices.
Yes, you should post about this when you get the time. I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on this :)
