yes a wall of text so you dont read i dont care but this is the original thought theory which i find very interesting
There are namely 4 factors that should be taken into account when discussing this argument.
The think pool - the total number of unique thoughts that can ever exist. This includes thoughts of things that have not yet been discovered or invented. Contrary to common belief, the greater the think pool, the less likely it is for someone else to copy your thought, hence a greater possibility that your idea really is unique. Let’s look at a minuscule example: a think pool consisting of only 10 possible thought (call this a-j), and there were only 2 people, with only 2 thoughts that they can think of. If the first person chooses thoughts a and b, the chance that the second person chooses one of the two is 2/10 or 20% i.e. there’s a 20% that one of the ideas is not “original”. As we increase the size of the ‘think pool’, that percentage keeps on getting smaller and smaller, i.e. less chance of it not being original.
Number of thoughts - the total number of thoughts one individual can have during his/her lifetime. If we use the same example as before but increase the number of thoughts to 6, then the chance of an idea not being original is 6/10 or 60%. Thus increasing the number of thoughts, increases the chance of the idea not being original. However one must look at the number of thoughts:the think pool ratio, to get the overall picture, and considering how vast the think pool is, one would suggest that ratio to be relatively small.
The population size – no one knows how many people have lived on Earth since the beginning, and how many will come to live before the inevitable end. Once again if we use the original example, but this time have a population size of 3, the chance that the third person’s idea not being original, is 4/10 or 40% (considering the second person’s ideas are original). As the population size increases the percentage also increases i.e. more chance that an idea is not original.
Complexity of thought – ideas have varying degree of depth and complexity. The more complex or tiered an idea is the less likely it is to be thought by someone else. Taking the original model, but with the thought being 2-tiered, the chance of the idea not being original is 2/100 or 2%, instead of the 20% we mentioned above.
