Today I saw someone tweet, “Your ideas aren’t very good if nobody steals them.”
Which at first might sounds like something I approve of, but actually, there are lots of bad ideas that get stolen and recycled all the time. (See: racism, fascism, etc.)
Ideas only travel as far as the minds ready and willing to take them in.
If your ideas are really, really good (see: the Beatitudes, universal health care, etc.) they might have a much harder time being stolen.
