Judging People's Ideas.

       In chapter 1: The Adjacent Possible , In the book Where good Ideas come From By: Steven Johnson I asked myself,“ Why are people not confident in their own ideas, but question other people’s  ideas?” I came up with the conclusion that in today’s world some people, feel the need  to have their opinion expressed because that’s the only time they feel valued.These types of people like to discourage others, since they have their own insecurities, which makes them put little effort into  anything they do. I feel that the main reason they judge people’s discussions is to make themselves feel confident, due to the  emptiness they are feeling for not having anything accomplished with their ideas or for receiving backlash. The author made me realize that if these types of people worked in groups together they would make more connections and discover good ideas that would make their group get noticed. Making them get so focused on their group that they would eventually, stop questioning other people's ideas since they would be  now focused on their own.
