This post of course reflects my opinion, but I have tried to be as concrete as possible in how you can identify what is a good idea and where to look for good ideas. While we can argue over what should or should not be on the list, I think the most important point is to have a checklist to judge any idea. If you don’t know what features make a good idea then it is very hard to know if your idea is a truly good idea, or just a so-so idea.

Hi there!

I left a rather critical comment, but I wanted to say that the piece has many good points. I was wondering if you could provide examples of ideas you're trying to aim for.

I just responded to your post as you do raise some important points.

I am of course not going to tell you my really good ideas (the whole point of my post that they are intrinsically valuable and rare), but I do write in details in the post about how to find good ideas and then how to judge if they are a good idea.
