"Many ideas have been brilliantly upgraded or repurposed for the modern age,
and their revival seems newly compelling. Some ideas from the past, on the
other hand, are just dead wrong and really should have been left to rot. When
they reappear, what is rediscovered is a shambling corpse. These are zombie
ideas."

Another good overview of the way people deal with ideas.  Via Massimo Pigliucci
and Jim Donegan.

Share and enjoy,
