DreadFighter Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Anyone ever have a concept that doesn't really go anywhere or someone else did it first? That stinks when you think of a concept which has little purpose but very interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) I really don't think it stinks. Things don't need to go anywhere, and I don't care if someone else thought of it first. One of my favorites that I've actually managed to remember over the years is something I came up with while I read Dante's Inferno. I can't cite the line because I've only read it once (I plan to remedy that at some point, and read the rest of the Divine Comedy too), but there's a line which implies that the reason people who are damned in hell cannot be saved and brought to heaven is because they can't honestly repent while suffering the punishments of hell. The punishments prevent honest repentance because the repentance is only offered in order to escape the torments of hell. There can't be regret motivated by anything other than escapism. The idea I came up with related to this was that there should be a society on Earth (preferably a heavily scientific organization) whose goal it is to convince mankind that there is no god and that hell and heaven don't exist, so that people only do good works because they believe in goodness, not because they're trying to get some sort of reward in the afterlife. Only people who don't believe in god can go to heaven. The society in question are all damned because they know god exists and know all the details of the torments of hell, so they spend their resources trying to save others by trying to eliminate the idea of god on earth. It's not really a coherent idea but I still like it. It was really funny. One time I told some of my friends about this idea, and when I was done, one of them was like, "I would join an organization like that!" EDIT-TLDR: Basically secular humanism is a conspiracy to prevent people from realizing that Catholicism is actually true, for their own good.

Maji Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Apparently you can make a kind of ice (called Ice VII) that is hotter than boiling water by compressing water so much so that it turns into a solid? I mean no purpose right now, but I find it fascinating, I wonder if that's how the insides of ice giants look like? EDIT: oh my god, I misread the thread in it's entirety. Just to clarify, I didn't make this concept up. Edited August 12, 2014 by Maji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) i think you're falsely equivocating "purpose" and sort of a "failure to launch," outcome for an idea. many ideas have a purpose. the venus project has a purpose, but is not at all anywhere near being in any sort of position to be taken seriously by a nation's government or its people. i have plenty of ideas, but i forget pretty much all of them. they typically occur in the shower. i don't think you or anyone should really care about originality. it's a useless thing to be worried about. if something's not new, it can be improved. like this thread? why is picking on some random sf user the cool thing to do now Edited August 12, 2014 by Phoenix Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 i can only imagine what it must feel like to come to the a-league, play for a team where you are their plan a and they have literally no plan b and you keep getting injured, only to be outshone by a 31-year old 2nd Bundesliga veteran and Albania's literally third-choice striker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
