Thinkers Wanted

Innovation requires people to think! However thinking is one of the practices that seems to be lacking in so many ways in this world today.

People hear, but they don’t really listen. When someone who makes movies for a living, or is a famous sports figure, or a funny stand-up comic says something about life, politics, business, or how the world should work, many people accept their position without any thought. But, when thinking people express a view contrary to the common thought, they are laughed at and even considered mentally imbalanced.

Thomas Jefferson said that America would remain free as long as it remained educated, but that when it ceased to be educated it would cease to be free. Real education makes people into thinkers and thinkers are the real driving force for a free society.

I am looking to associate with real thinkers. I will not always agree with your thoughts and you will not always agree with mine, but real thinkers are still who I want to meet. Will you join me? Will you make my day and ask questions that I cannot answer? Will you stir my imagination and make me think?

If you will let’s get the part started! I will do my best to consider any question, but I will not argue just for the sake of arguing.

Let’s have fun ….

A Place for Thoughtful Conversation

I have been fooling around a lot with blogging lately and in doing so I have experimented with several of my favorite topics. After some moderate success (at least in my view) I had to ask myself that all important parental question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

This blog is my answer to myself. I have been focused on some very specific things in my first blog efforts. While I enjoyed writing in those specific areas, I much prefer conversation with thinking people than just spewing my opinions with little or no response.

I am going to try to entice every reader of this blog to comment on the topics that they have an opinion or knowledge about. My hope is that when thinking, innovative people get into real and thoughtful conversations that we can all benefit and can make the world a better place! (I know that I am still an idealist and a dreamer.)

So …. subscribe, comment, and help us to make this blog a haven for the truly innovative. It ought to be a lot of fun!
