Discovery/invention is kinda funny, it sounds original but the fact is...
I just saw a video (online) and it turns out that the idea I proposed in my office (just a few months back) is exactly what was discussed in the video. I am like, wow! what if people had seen that video before hearing my “original” idea presentation; to them, it would look like I’ve copied the idea from that video, which isn’t true.
This incident tells me that there is no harm in sharing/floating ideas around, coz for all you know, someone else has already talked about it elsewhere. The internet will spread the word and the internet is not going to keep things secret. So, the fact is that the ideas are simultaneously popping-up in different heads all over the world. You get it! several people had the same eureka moment you had when you came up with your “original” idea.
Discovery/invention is kinda funny, it sounds original but the fact is, a lot of us discover/invent things simultaneously. So, I just have one tip for those who are scared that their ideas will be stolen: spread your idea, even if it a million-dollar idea. Your idea isn’t a secret anymore. You’re probably the 58th person talking about that idea.
