Idea Province

I have more ideas than I'll ever use: ideas for movies, inventions, utopias, T-shirts, businesses, and more. I could hoard them, but what would be the point? If you have ideas that you're squandering, send them to me - Rhys Southan - at mrsouth (-at-) gmail (-dot-) com. I'll post them for the world to take... if the world has any use for them.

Compassionate Contrarian

I can’t claim to be the only one to think of this phrase, since it gets three hits in a Google search - one of them a bi-yearly blog called The Compassionate Contrarian - but I’m posting it here because it hasn’t caught on yet.

A Compassionate Contrarian is someone who goes against the typical mode of thought, yet does so courteously, not seeking to offend those who still cling to old ways of thinking. In fact, if confronted by an angry non-contrarian, the Compassionate Contrarian will usually concede that maybe the more obvious way of thinking might be right.
