Part V: What Makes an Idea Good?

While discussing topics for the blog recently, one of us asked the question: "What makes an idea good?". We thought we'd throw this out to a few Kindling employees and friends and see what where people take it. The responses will be posted here all week as a part of this series.

What makes an idea good is its being more good than an idea that is less good

this is not to say that one idea is “better” than another

but rather more good

and it’s hard to argue with more compared with less

unless it’s more of something bad

as for example more oil spills

whereas less oil spills would be a good idea

and though it may be a brief inconvenience to accept

that less oil spills would be more good

spilling itself is indifferent to good or bad

as spilled milk for example is nothing to cry over

unless perhaps it is on the order of over 60,000 barrels of milk spilled per day

for 91 days.
