Good ideas sound good, great ideas sound crazy

Please don’t read into this that all crazy ideas are great. That is not true. Only some crazy ideas are great. However, all great ideas sound crazy because if they were just merely good, most people would be able to understand it and agree upon it as being good, as many of us could have come up with them. In contrast, a great idea, in the true sense of the “great” adjective rather than its overused parlance version, is great from the unlikelihood many of us could have conceived it, understand it, and/or believe in its feasibility being anything short of crazy. The challenge with great ideas sounding crazy, though, is how to differentiate it from the crazy sounding ideas that are actually crazy.
