The complexity of an idea doesn’t determine its value. It matters more how well it’s executed. Most ideas, whether simple or complex, are built on top of older ones. Star Wars, for example, is rich in character development and narrative depth, but it’s essentially a modern retelling of older mythology. My aregument is that a well executed idea can lead to even more creativity and innovation.

I wonder whether our current intellectual property laws truly protect small creators? They seem to favor those with deep pockets more than the little guy. Just look at patent trolls, their entire business model is exploiting loopholes. That’s not a system that encourages innovation, but one that puts a moat around an idea with the biggest legal department.
