 Paul Graham &#8220;Ideas for Startups&#8221;で気になった部分についてコメントしています。

In theory you could stick together ideas at random and see what you came up with. What if you built a peer-to-peer dating site? Would it be useful to have an automatic book? Could you turn theorems into a commodity? When you assemble ideas at random like this, they may not be just stupid, but semantically ill-formed. What would it even mean to make theorems a commodity? You got me. I didn&#8217;t think of that idea, just its name.

<p>
 この部分ではアイディアを考える際に、<b>これまで正当とされてきた考えをまとめる方法を否定している</b>ということが面白いのではないかと思います。さらにこのように続けています。

You might come up with something useful this way, but I never have. It&#8217;s like knowing a fabulous sculpture is hidden inside a block of marble, and all you have to do is remove the marble that isn&#8217;t part of it. It&#8217;s an encouraging thought, because it reminds you there is an answer, but it&#8217;s not much use in practice because the search space is too big.

「私はこの方法で役に立つ考えを思いついたことは一度もない」などと一刀両断しています。しかし、正当と考えられてきた方法だと考えがランダムでありすぎて、まとめることが困難であるという問題点を指摘しだします。

I find that to have good ideas I need to be working on some problem. You can&#8217;t start with randomness. You have to start with a problem, then let your mind wander just far enough for new ideas to form.

<p>
ランダムな問いかけから始めるのではなく、問いから始めることを推奨しています。

In a way, it&#8217;s harder to see problems than their solutions. Most people prefer to remain in denial about problems. It&#8217;s obvious why: problems are irritating. They&#8217;re problems! Imagine if people in 1700 saw their lives the way we&#8217;d see them. It would have been unbearable. This denial is such a powerful force that, even when presented with possible solutions, people often prefer to believe they wouldn&#8217;t work.
