Immunotherapy for eliminating cancer is a really good idea, for example. Drinking and driving is a bad idea.
No, I just think that the physiological, factual and normative relationships between drinking and driving have been explored to such a degree that we probably won't wrestle much new insight by revisiting them, compared to what we could to in the meantime.

You think. I respect you think that way. But I also hope your intellect is sufficiently embracing so as to permit the idea that you might be wrong and that others can indeed find value in the topic.

Absolutely. I thought that is so obvious and self evident that it does not require mentioning. Any edge of understanding that any human mind can hope to pass will will trivial some time later on, and turn out to be wrong in a larger context.

The point of the example is that some ideas are objectively good. This doesn't imply that they require much further exploration. That one is fairly binary. Do it (bad idea) don't do it (good idea). That the person thinking it didn't invent the concept isn't the point.

We may need to talk about what you define as good.
