This is kind of content-free and contradictory. "Just because you have an idea doesn't mean it's a good idea" vs "bounce ideas off of smart people" vs "Trust your instincts and dont' worry about others' opinions".

Also "Trip method unit"? "Ideation"? That quality/time graph? Is this a joke?

Is this a joke? No, it is not. As a slide show only it might be hard to see the point. But having listen to the speech and knowing how Trip approaches problems, thinks through it and emerges with new ideas it makes a lot of sense. There is a reason why he is very successful.

and that reason is google spamming more textual data (mostly copyrighted) than any site (including wikipedia) on the web

Surely that makes it Google's problem than his? If Google thinks this is spam and it's still sending his site lots of traffic, then he can't be blamed for that, no?
