Great question, some other guy just asked a properly retarded version of the same thing...your's is so much more succinct
Without unrealistic and Idealistic pie-in-the-sky thinking there would have been no innovation or invention...
Out of the box thinking starts off in the wrong direction but from this new ideas and directions come in....
Something that springs to mind is the Perelman conjecture that has just been solved in Topographic Maths. THe conjecture had existed for 100 years without being solved, and Perelman stands to win £1M for doing it. He came up with a new method of looking at the structure of shapes that has now spawned an entire new branch of mathematical thinking...he started off in the wrong direction and it took him 10 years to do so...

No, Patz, I don't think being idealistic has to equate to being unrealistic. Having ideals may seem like idle dreaming but without dreams of something better, what will inspire us to improve our lives or our world? Who is to say what goal is realistic and what is mere fantasy? Isn't it the idealists, optimists and dreamers who have proved to be our greatest inventors, writers and philosophers?
Having an ideal in mind and tenaciously pursuing that goal is the perfect representation of the human spirit at work. We've entirely too many Negative Nellies telling us what we can't do in this world. We could use more positive, proactive people to say "Why not?" and act accordingly. And why is pessimism deemed more "realistic" than optimism, anyway?
Hell yes, there's more pie in the sky -- and I want my slice!

"Hello patzky99!
Idealistic to me kinda means a ring of expressions and dreams of both guys and girls...it's about saying what you believe in and what this world should be like...it's about living in an idealistic world without the stereotypes, the racism, and the hate...it's about dreaming of an unrealistically perfect world...it's for dreamers...like us... or how about: Not compatible with reality: quixotic, romantic, starry-eyed, unrealistic, utopian, visionary.
Knowing these adjectives are inter-related, coming up with an accurate measurement of there equality is tantamount to the purest of guesses, or perhaps I can measure them by there attributes.
We, especially in America, are dreamers. No one would claim difference, but, we too have married technology to our dreams and have made some of the loftyest, idealistic and unrealistic goals into present realities. Yes, idealism and unrealisticism are equalized by our technological and social adaptations to them.
I'm not certain what others really think about the equalities of these similar adjectives to equal each other, but, idealism and technology are the stories of our present and future lives.
Adios."

Ideas come from a pattern of succession, but in parts that form to make up ones continuous battle of fear and grafted incisional temptation to reality.
