Where do the ideas for new & innovative things come from?
There is a famous quote by Mark Twain:
“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations”.
All new ideas come from old ideas. The idea of everything that exists came by taking ideas that had been experienced and then putting them together to create something new. This process never stops. We continually layer new ideas upon new ideas to create even newer things. This is because human beings have a propensity to find faults with existing things and as we are always making improvements to make things better, existing ideas evolve and new combinations emerge.
We as a species don’t have a settling point. We are pre-programmed to strive constantly to resolve our dissatisfactions. This natural drive to create new things made way for all the world’s discoveries that benefit us today. The creative members of our species cannot indulge in a straightforward routine in the areas where we execute our best selves. For creative people, every aspect of their lives is full of ingenuity and that quest for novelty and ingenuity moves us towards doing innovative things, resulting in a flight from the repetitive routines that power that hefty adaptation. This hefty adaptation or a massive change is what distinguishes our one generation from the next, one decade from the next, and even a year from its preceding year. The drive to create the new is part of our biological mandate. We surround ourselves with things that have never existed before, and no other species can replicate.
So, human beings consistently move this process of discovery forward and it happens in a sequence of connections, in a correspondence that we refer to as The Law of Correspondence. With the law of correspondence as below, so as above. As above, so as below, as below, so as above basically states if you start with nothing and add nothing, you get nothing.
