Strong language. Especially coming from an organization that generally touts "ideas as useless." Well here's a model based exponentially upon the promise of "ideas." I sincerely hope you disrupt the current models, which have been severely hijacked by interest groups, short-term thinking, and governance.
So yes Sam, you have some bold ideas (you're not yet sharing). Put $10m down to validate them and bring them to the world. You've earned the chance. And if you succeed, you'll create a new model that touts the power of ideas, takes responsibility for them, but does not own them.
Perhaps you're thinking of this [PG, 2005]: Actually, startup ideas are not million dollar ideas, and here's an experiment you can try to prove it: just try to sell one. Nothing evolves faster than markets. The fact that there's no market for startup ideas suggests there's no demand. Which means, in the narrow sense of the word, that startup ideas are worthless.
This is specific to startup business ideas, not scientific ideas. And worthless != useless. Worthless (in the narrow sense) means you can't sell it for a lot of money.
