A menacing looking individual as our app icon? Why, yes. Let’s.
No one cares about your ideas. They only care about what you make.
Blain Hogan, from his book Untitled: Thoughts on the Creative Process
(via jonathanmoore)As someone who works largely in the realm of the intangible — partnerships, negotiations, deals — I appreciate and admire the maker movement. As a lapsed musician, I’m guilty of not making enough. But the growing mantra that ideas no longer matter strikes me as shockingly short-sighted.
There are ways and realms big and small in which ideas matter a great deal, from the applied science that derives from theoretical physics, to the “on the ground” realities of geopolitics and policy. A lousy idea makes for a lousy outcome.
So enough with pitting one side against the other. It’s just a bad idea.

While previous youth movements have challenged the dysfunction and decadence of their elders, today we have the “hipster” – a youth subculture that mirrors the doomed shallowness of mainstream society.
