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?

okay at this point i'm totally confused. lol. I thought about it and i really think it is just a saying. When we actually use the phrase we are not talking about truely great minds anyway.
Example: "I was just thinking to call you, then the phone rang and it was you calling me." Reply: "Great minds think alike." It is fun to say "Great minds think alike" because you are making a connection with the other person by saying that the two of you, in thinking the same thing at the same time, both have great minds. Thats all I think it is, a compliment both to yourself and to the person you are talking to. |

Then we would be missing the point of this whole thread, which is to discuss whether or not great minds really think alike. I thought the topic creator wanted to debate the validity of the quote on levels beyond its colliquial meaning.

If the topic starter really wanted to discuss on that level, then it wouldn't be a debate, I don't think... And if that is the case, this thread will need to be closed... or moved. |
