Meditating a bit more this morning; on the difference between "the idea" and the actual labor and skill which "invents" this morning.

Thinking too about how our culture, which largely credits folks like Steve Job's for "creating" things like the iPhone and such.

Reminds me too, of the Stan Lee fight with Steve Ditko over the co-authorship of Spider-man.

I swear ive seen a documentary on Steve Ditko; where Stan Lee has a few quotes where he insists the person-who-has the idea is the creator. (Thus touching on this very thing.)

Though when you read the now accepted history his "idea" was just the tiniest kernel, merely a kid with spider powers; before he went knocking on Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko's doors. No costume, no back story, no web shooters. No clear conception of the powers.
