Picture this. You’re in a work meeting attempting to troubleshoot a problem that your team has been struggling to figure out. You suggest something, a solution equal parts ingenious and elegant. Your coworkers are impressed and shower you with praise, all except for one person who for some reason looks upset. Afterwards this person confronts you, claiming they had mentioned this same solution to you during a private call last week, accusing you of intellectual theft.

who is ronnie mack?

Hello

[@JaysonT1]

Somebody had to have the thought originally.

[@Im-the-greatest]

I like to think that our existence is just some kids dream. I think the idea is called solipsism.🤙

[@SemperMaximus]

Nietzsche pointed this out in his works. Having "original" thoughts (whatever original means) is tremendously hard and most people just live simply passing down other peoples opinions, just reshaping them to fit their own mindset and worldview. But then the question arises: If everyone is stealing ideas from everyone, then who ever had a first "original" idea and how can we know if its the first time that thought(noun) was ever thought(verb).

[@wellwisher2681]

You could have started by telling us what you think.

First it comes to languages the way we start communicating because everything as information in itself but its not translated to our language like computers who understand number energy wich communicates through light vibration but tbh idk the purpose 😅 and everything happends through probabilities which is predictable and unpredictable at the same time but still we dont know what will really happend in every scale because we need to connect to other things which will help us to see everything that this reality does really mean it looks like predictive behaviour like we predict other animals behaviour so it would be easier done to us but we really dont know 😂

[@chicken29843]

Original thoughts are quite literally impossible due to the nature of how the brain works. The only way to come up with a new idea is for something external to give it to. Your brain literally cannot create knowledge it doesn't have. It can only rearrange knowledge you already have. Everything is derivative. There's so much a philosophy that is pointless because science gives us the answer. It's like the question of free will, it's quite literally not a compatible concept with our understanding of the universe and yet it is treated like a legitimate philosophical topic.

[@emperorofpluto]

Have seen this phenomenon a lot in my 54 years of life - both in myself and others. One recent instance was when a friend told me an anecdote from my personal experience living overseas that I had only told him the week before - except he told it as though it had happened to him.

[@ApertureThinking]

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@user-lp7rp7cb4g]

Can you please suggest me your favorite books??

[@craftcrate6602]

as a musician, who actively writes metal riffs, this is most relatable, sometimes i just come up with a riff that's so good then i realize that i've heard it somewhere before. in fact, most of music is based on a selection of melodies shuffled together, which explains why bunch of songs sound alike. it's very hard to come up with something completely original, and those who succeed in doing that are the ones considered revolutionary figures.

[@Archangel_Michaels]

WOW !!! I can totally relate, I'm trying to come up with an unique sound after 40+ yerars of playing guitar still elusive, wow

[@kepspark3362]

It seems your sense of what music sounds pleasant itself is impressed in your brain by what you've listened to till now. So as you conceive, create 1, you actively resort to what's pleasant to you which leads you to something that sounds similar or is a mix of some from your memory. Suggestion: try a new instrument. Make up things in it. With the same instrument, you'll keep reverting to your memories. With new 1, it'll force you to create something still familiarly pleasant but more different than the 1st 1.

Music amazes and disgusted me at the same time.

[@ruszet13]

no, music is limitless. u do what u like and dont care about anything. ideas ideas ideas, now erything is used for money, fame, society's respect. just enjoy ur life

[@DanaVastman]

I feel this is only a problem because of the societal systems we have developed which dictate competition and monetary requirements to survive. Rather than jump the shark and live in a world where we follow our bliss, we end up fighting over scraps and using legal means to extract value from the bits that we do. Combine ego with having to claim some ownership over this for a paycheck is pretty insane. It's sad. Throughout my life I've tried to follow my passions which include writing music and songs, creating gardens and exploring the world as it unfolds around me. The worst part is being stuck in a world where I have to earn money to survive. I've been fortunate enough to have survived based on my own love of doing what I'm doing. I don't worry about whether or not there is an influence. In an ideal world like Star Trek the money and ownership. B******* would not be an issue. Sucks to live in our f***** up world

[@kepspark3362]

I completely agree with you! I'm wondering, trying to conceive how that world might work... So that we can create that future. Any ideas?

[@Hobbsdad]

Absolutely, I'd love to be a volunteer in society rather than just another slave to it but so long as we've commodified everything, we're stuck in a situation that can't possibly be changed until society changes its priorities

[@asktastic12]

You guys make this too deep, fucking grow up crying over original thoughts? Like how fucked up does one have to be to be influenced by this shit

[@rubenbuenrostro5771]

I’ve often said a certain sequence of words to make a specific thought known. But I say it in that specific way so I know it’s being repeated later and I’ve heard it being repeated months later. I became aware of that from Enders Game… where Peter asks Valentine if she’s ever paid attention to what she says and how people click with it and so they repeat it because it’s so intelligent. Pay attention to what you say and notice how impactful your words are.

[@haniamritdas4725]

I do this constantly in conversations. My friends named it after me: I would be off in my head thinking about something that has been said earlier. But the conversation continues, so I hear it sort of subliminally. Then the conversation ends. Then I say something that was already discussed, as though I had just the idea. I know immediately what the room of blank stares means now, and I do not attend parties lmao

[@TVirus91]

Fascinating! As a musician I often sit at rehearsal and while jamming I suddenly stop and think "Wait... that sounds familiar!" but as hard as I think, I can't recall where I heard that riff or melody! Let's hope there won't be a lawsuit waiting in the future ;)

[@martindenham2207]

That was absolutely fascinating. The more I learn about human psychology & behaviour the more I realise how much I don't understand about how I function. It's quite a bizarre concept. We're required to learn how to operate machinery or drive a car for example, but we don't have to learn how we 'ourselves' function. I'm not sure if that's arrogance or ignorance, or maybe both?

[@ColdSensor]

This reminds me of Rupert Sheldrake's theory about the Morphogentic Field, the theory goes as follows: Morphogenetic fields carry information only (no energy) and are available throughout time and space without any loss of intensity after they have been created. They are created by the patterns of physical forms (including such things as crystals as well as biological systems). They help guide the formation of later similar systems. And finally, a newly forming system "tunes into" a previous system by having within it a "seed" that resonates with a similar seed in the earlier form. Thus, from this perspective, the DNA in the genes of a living system (like an oak tree) does not carry all the information needed to shape that system, but it can act as a "tuning seed" that tunes in the morphogenetic fields of previous systems of the same type. Morphogenetic fields are thus the repository of what might be described as genetic habits. In addition, these same concepts can be used to explain some of the mysteries about human memory. In effect, our brains are not so much libraries as they are sending and receiving stations that leave a continuous trail of experience imprinted in morphogenetic fields and then "recall" previous experiences by tuning into that trail. If these ideas are correct, then the "storehouse of memory" is not the least bit private since morphogenetic fields are universally available and continue to exist regardless of what happens to their original source. The only thing that makes our mental processes seem private is that we naturally resonate most strongly with our own past mental states. In other words, each of us broadcasts on a unique channel to which, generally, no one else listens. Yet in principle, someone else could tune into "your" memory and thoughts, and indeed, in practice, we do - as the common experience of "reading" another person's mind attests. These ideas can be carried further to consider what happens when many people have a similar thought. The information stored in the morphogenetic field should then be stronger and accessible over "more channels." In that case we would expect it to be easier for new people to also "have" that thought (or skill, insight, or whatever). One aspect of this would be the creation of what Jung called the collective unconscious.

[@LightningShiva1]

If noone had an original thought, then whose thoughts are they?

[@Enadalal]

thoughts are rumination of our experiences. everything that experience may have thoughts. it is when humans started expressing thoughts, we understood that everyone thinks(ruminates on experiences, expressed thoughts or a mixture of both) and few express. The more we consume( or experience) the more we are willing to express, when we believe it is worth sharing. Hope it answers your question...

[@gamezswinger]

Love this! I've been thinking about this for a while. Years ago, I played a prank on a coworker, I took a picture of his car and photoshopped the front windshield smashed and showed it to him. Stressed out, he went running outside the office to check his car which was fine-no broken front shield. LOL. Years later my other coworker did a similar joke (possibly inspired by mine), photoshopping a large scratch on someone's car. The owner of that car went running out the office to the parking lot, finding out his car was okay, I think Cryptomnesia (that word is so hard to say!) can occur within minutes, hours, days, months, and years…

If somebody was born without any entertainment, social interaction or any interaction with the outside world, just four walls, would they have original ideas? If we gave this individual artistic tools (paint, music, saw etc) it would be interesting to see what they would make. Not saying we should try this but it’s an interesting thought experiment. We do not choose our thoughts, our thoughts choose us.

[@Ali-cya]

They would copy their surroundings, their surroundings will give them ideas of shapes, sounds and ways then their brain would just mold them because the brain itself is born with some ideas already present, a person born into walls still has the instinct to eat, move, test, exploit, act etc. That would influence what they see and understand from the tools. Ultimately, it's still a poor experiment, because people are born with some ideas already present in their minds which is inevitable.

There's a Bible verse that states this too: Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.

Lamguage and thought are collective activities. There are no original words, only new ways of combining sounds to create the same shared meanings.

Yes no one has ever had a original thought we have took notions and ideas subconsciously and connected them with other things later on. One example is a bird, humans have always dreamt of flying, and its quite funny that a bird looks like a plane its got wings and a main body like a plane. Same could be applied with horse and car. Thoughts and ideas have always grown from past ones and connected to make one seemingly new, but just two separate things and connected them.

To talk about in a more metaphysical way, we're not the owner of our thoughts anyway..

Sounds really paradoxical but it becomes pretty obvious after practicing regularly meditation for a while

[@Shimamon27]

We are influenced by the world around us - that is why it's better to never fully rely on "the power of our own minds", because our minds is a culmination of all our experiences, especially recent ones. Better to actively have references in mind, and know why you are doing something rather than just "flowing with it", in order to both avoid repeating something someone else did, as well as be aware of what are you trying to portray with your ideas. When you use active references, you also actively twist and mash them with other content in order to differentiate it from the source material, forming a unique variation. We live in a world and our minds feeds on what the world gives it. The simple way to prove it - Try and imagine a type of smell your senses can't get, or imagine in a color your brain has no option of getting, or a type of sound that is beyond what your senses can have... Or, even just try and sense in a snese you don't have. You'll discover that you can't. We are based on what there is, not what there isn't. Best ways to stay "original", is to go out where people usually don't go, experience those places, and form content out of those rather uncommon sensations. Like, if someone been outside of earth, they usually have a vastly different array of references, because their bodies experiences a whole different gravity and ways of interacting with the world around them... Totally different limitations and options. When you are in a unique situation, you gain unique inspiration. Of course, being unique, also means being unrelatable. Have that in mind.

A great example of this is a story Hellen Keller “wrote” as a child. It was later published, if I remember correctly, and someone realized the mistake. It wasn’t word for word or anything. But certain things were obvious if it was compared. Even Annie Sullivan-Macy, who had read the book to Hellen didn’t remember it. If I remember correctly, they were doing something for class like a short story maybe. The poor kid got lots of backlash for it, and of course, so did “Teacher”. I’m sorry, but it’s totally understandable. Not only was Hellen learning to navigate a world without vision or hearing, but it was her teacher who was her voice, eyes, ears, and cane basically. The true author of the story was not in the least angry with her and actually liked Hellen’s take on her story, understanding that over several years had passed between Annie reading the story to her and Hellen retelling of it.. Also, Dr. Oliver Sacks was a person of great empathy. I was quite fascinated by his essay of losing his right eye. I am legally blind/hard of hearing without my hearing aids and for me it was interesting to hear what someone who has had vision in both eyes experienced when having it in only one. I still have no ability to conceive of it since I can only see about maybe a foot past my nose clearly and reading brings my nose literally up against the page, but it was interesting all the same. His essays on epilepsy and the weird effects of the time following the seizures was instrumental in helping me to understand I was crazy and I would be ok. And eventually I woke up understanding what had happened (sometimes, usually I just want to sleep). There are some who are disabled that try to say his work is nothing more that a modern day sideshow display. I do not believe this whatsoever. He spent his whole career in neurology trying to help and understand those of us with neurological disorders. He wrote those books, not for accolades, but as a tribute to those patients. But I also believe some people with disabilities can be really… don’t know the word I need. But they act as though: A. No one with a disability should ever be seen as overcoming anything which is stupid. Yes we do the same things as non disabled folks but it doesn’t mean ingenuity wasn’t a thing. And while I hate hearing “oh my gosh you’re doing so well at “c task” I have enough friggin empathy and awareness to know they genuinely don’t know how THEY would be able to do something we’re they in my situation. Sorry for the essay. Cold meds suck. Lol it’s all related though I promise 😂

It easy to accidentally do it with music. In theory there's a near infinite amount of ways to combine notes/ chords/ melodies/ beats and if on guitar strumming patterns. But in reality there's is only so many ways to do this that are "catchy" and sound good to the human ear. Hence why scales exist and why a lot of pop music essentially sounds the same as it's produced to a well known formula. Trust me, It's damn hard to write a song and not think, gee that kinda sounds like something else. And in Harrisons case damn near identical to something else. A lot of blues music is pretty much musically and structurally identical other than the lyrics, but it's not plagiarism they're just the notes/ chords/ scales used in blues and how that style of music is structured. And often if 2 blues songs are damn near identical it's often in tribute to another artist not a blatant plagiarised rip off. That's just how music works. There are only 12 notes after all (not including sharps or flats for the pedantic who might read this lol).
