Do great minds really think alike? Where did that quote come from? I mean seriously, when you think about it if great minds really did think alike then how would individual people come up with great inventions? When do great minds think alike and when don't they?

great= having novel ideas that benefit mankind.

alike= not novel.

thus, if they think alike, they're not great.

You contradicted yourself. If two people have novel ideas, than for you they do not think alike correct? Say two people have novel ideas and both benefit humankind (your definition of great) then they certainly ARE thinking alike by working towards the same goal, the benefit of humankind. rolleyes.gif
