When should a new idea be said to have been born. Is it at the point of conception? But the conception of an idea is an everyday matter. Ideas take shape left and right, for it only to be drowned in the tide of popular sentiments. Even of ideas conceived in the mind of individuals, there is risk of gradual erasure from the force of flow of everyday thoughts. What essential condition should there be in the mind of the conceiver for an idea to first grow; then to grow enough that it overpowers the conventional ideas; and then to to burst out of the individual to the cultural sphere. The growth of the ideas in the cultural sphere needs even more intense scrutiny.
