Does Hope still linger on?

Question

How does seeing or reading other people's ideas or perspective help you create your own idea or become smarter by reading it? Can other people's idea change or "brainwash" your idea? how did Einstein or Edison create their ideas? just something to think about.

Thank you in advance!!

Answer 1

well when reading somebody elses idea, it can change your perspective of something, therefore changing your idea.

Answer 2

You learn best by thinking.  It helps you understand and evaluate what other people tell you.  It helps you figure out which, if any, of all the different things people tell you are true.

Einstein learned all the relevant math and science available to him, then thought about it.  Edison was more of an engineer/experimenter.  He knew he wanted an electric light, but there was no mature materials science at the time, so he just intelligently chose materials to try and then just tried them.

So, if this is an assignment, you'll get the best results by learning whatever is relevant to learn, and then thinking about it.
