A Michael Iva manifesto: 100 Ways to Kill a Concept: Why Most Ideas Get Shot Down. [Link to PDF file.]

I liked this bit:

And this, an update of Schopenhauer:

A great concept passes through three stages when it is new: First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
