Talking About Ideas

How we use ideas is shaped by how we talk about them, the exact words we use.  So how do we communicate about the nature of ideas, which are notoriously abstract? With metaphors. whereideascomefrom is a site about metaphors about ideas.

Why is this important?  Because ideas are at the core of what makes us human, just as words are.  And the complex interaction of words and ideas is critical to how we work, create, and innovate.
