Ideas and Concepts

by Liberty and Power

Dear Jason,
I have returned from Camp LeJeune. As to your question about my differentiation between ideas and concepts. As an opener for a discussion, may I suggest the following piece, especially the first two paragraphs, by the Physicist, Robert Laughlin.
Regards,
Bill

It's interesting, but I do not see how the first two paragraphs have anything to do with the distinction between "ideas" and "concepts." What is it you mean, exactly?
