Using the metaphorical (or maybe literal) model of ideas as living things - there should be conditions we can create to nurture an ecosystem of beneficial ideas. Like making a garden or farm.
Not just thinking about transmission method (memes, books, songs, art, gatherings) but also having a defined, intentional and continued program of evaluating ideas and spreading ideas.
1·1 year ago- Discuss and debate your ideas, and seek membership in community where this is encouraged
- Work on complex projects to continuously learn about how ideas manifest in reality
- Take care of your brain
- Write your ideas down. Write them with different words and approach them from different angles. Explore all the details
- Have respect for grammar and vocabulary. Utilize words’ specific individual meanings, and expand your vocabulary so that you aren’t misleading listeners and readers by using words that sorta kinda fit what you’re trying to say
- Practice meditation to stop the intellect from gaining too much prominence in your mind (this is also a function of the work thing from above)
- Read lots and lots of books, including fiction. Not only do you get ideas, but you also get exposure to complex sentence structure and ways of conveying things
- Ditto poetry. Ditto news. Ditto rap. Listen till your brain’s exhausted, then take a little nap
- Eat well and sleep plenty
- Develop your body’s skill. Shoot arrows, play pool, make love, surf, play the violin, juggle, rock climb, etc. Do things that require skill, not just knowledge or creativity.
