Thoughtful piece from Paul Graham and evaluating ideas that sound crazy, and being aware of the expertise of the person sharing the idea, and mindful of the impact of the current paradigm.
Most implausible-sounding ideas are in fact bad and could be safely dismissed. But not when they're proposed by reasonable domain experts. If the person proposing the idea is reasonable, then they know how implausible it sounds. And yet they're proposing it anyway. That suggests they know something you don't. And if they have deep domain expertise, that's probably the source of it.
