Do you agree with Thomas Jefferson’s concept on an “idea”?
Answers
Answer:
Jefferson still has more to say. The analogy has its flaws. Ideas are singular. If there is anything that nature has made “less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea.” Each person possesses exclusively any idea so long as it is unshared.

Answer:
The quote I think your are referring to: He who receives an idea from me, receives instructions from me without lessening mine, as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.’
This is a simple and yet profound thought about the nature of communication that is as relevant today as then. Yes, I am in agreement. Cannot see why anyone would not be. He was, arguably, the greatest writer, statesman, rebel of his time. Without him we should all be having ‘Tea’ at countless times and still be obliged to the crown
