Hi Shawn, I must say you have covered all the basis on the topic of ideas. So much can evolve with a though which then turns into an idea. All the things that have been accomplished over a lifetime have began with an idea and some have yet to be. The brain indeed is a powerful living thing, so are our bodies and all creation, the universe and everything in existence today.
Have a lovely day!
