Mine too! <It has been my experience that when people have coherent ideas with some utility, eventually other people do look at them and start advancing the cause.> My experience over decades has been that I get an idea, try to tell somebody, including people in authority, they ignore me. Sometime between 10 and 20 years later, the ideas become "common-sense" and start to be adopted. But invariably, there have been huge costs incurred, both actual and opportunity. Not to mention a lot of dead people [which is part of "costs"].
Also true: <Unfortunately, the world is full of lots of nutty ideas which don't merit much attention. > Those are the ideas which are pursued before mine are finally adopted.
It's easy to tell the difference between the good ideas and nutty ideas. All one needs to use are facts, scientific principles, and thinking [thinking using an actual brain, not just "I feel strongly that this is true" = having strong feelings is not a substitute for thinking].
When people ignore facts and scientific principles, abjure reason and pursue their own importance [and cash flow], ignoring people who are using facts, science and reason, you can be sure that they are up a gum tree and are most likely getting a kick-back [cash flow, girls, power, status]. Many are just plain ignorant, unable to understand scientific principles and lack a brain that can think and reason.
