“Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one idea” (Alain).

 

Taking over the world IS a team effort

One person hatching an idea without consultation and better yet selling it to the world is a recipe for disaster. Touting an idea, any idea (without it being thoroughly interrogated) as the silver bullet is dangerous, because it is one dimensional and exclusive which eliminates public participation and group buy in.

 

It is for that reason that brainstorming or even crowdsourcing has become so widely popular. It is inclusive manner in which to execute tasks or get to the root of a problem irrespective of the nature of the problem. It is also an opportunity to share; it is an opportunity to network and most of all an opportunity to learn. So next time, you’re thinking of having a Pinky and the Brain “Let’s take over the world” moment, STOP, consult someone or a group of people, after all, because “Many hands make light work” and no one person can take over the world on their own armed merely with their solitary idea.
