Why this blog?
This blog is about ideas and how ideas collide and recombine to produce innovation.The name of the blog is inspired by the Large Hadron Collider where different streams of energy particles are smashed together to produce wonderfully new stuff. The image in my mind is having two streams of ideas colliding together, generating massive new ideas and innovation.
The main inspiration is from the Model Thinking course lecture, "9.5 Recombination" that describes how innovations comes from recombination of ideas. And as lecture 8 describes, innovation is essential to growth.
Where does innovation come from?
It comes from diversity of perspectives and heuristics and recombination of those ideas.
Blog Content
My goal is to write about ideas and how ideas are combined and in the process hope to sharpen my intuition about how to recombine ideas.The other idea is to generalize from specific recombinations to generic recombination methods and so that I can then apply these generic recombination methods to other ideas.
