What is ideation?

Ideation is coming up with a bright idea that could make a difference to society.

The more innovative the idea, the bigger the difference to society.

coming up with a bright idea that could "fly"

Ideation involves both divergent thinking (starting with the known and moving outwards) and convergent thinking (starting with the known and moving inwards).

Starting with the unknown is neurally impossible, because thought can't happen at all unless there's a  neural network to support it.

New intelligence can only be developed on the foundation of existing intelligence.   Even external stimuli can only be responded to with existing neural network.
