  • All ideas have to pass through a coselection process that will lead to the survival of the fittest.
  • Thus, let's make clear that criticism is always good (as far as ideas are concerned).
  • Heraclites said : "war is the father of all, and the king of all", and there are many reasons to think that he was right.
  • Thus, harsh criticism is good too, as far as it is sound and fair.
  • Ad hominen criticism in not allowed
  • Therefore, even patent egotism, hubris or megalomania are not sufficient reasons to discard any single idea.
  • Anyone is welcomed to believe in (the truthfulness of) her/his ideas.
  • Enthousiasm is usually more productive than despair or doubt.
  • So anyone is invited to contribute enthousiastically with awareness that it is good to leave to others some opportunities to criticize our proposal.
  • In other words, our necessary self-criticism should not be animated by a desire for perfection since this could lead to inhibition and self-sterilization.
  • So, go ahead and let others help you have a clearer view of what you think.
