Any new and original idea will be considered bad by somebody who is afraid of change. And there are many. There are even those who consider any idea to be bad simply because they don't have any. Whether it is considered dangerous or not is a matter of how many people it will affect, but it is still an idea.

Let's turn this one around. Is a danger that isn't an idea, worthy of being called a danger?

Without safety there can be no danger and yet safety is an idea that the worth of it is dangerous or so it seems.
I find that people only seem to take notice of those ideas that involve change, and change is always dangerous. It deals with the unknown and the unknown is the most dangerous of all. At least it seems that way to most.
For philosophers, the unknown is simply the contradiction of the known.
But people see things in black and white, settled and wilderness, love and hate. They don't see an idea however.
The opposite of an idea is silence or the void that having no idea creates.
So an idea that is not dangerous is safe and worth having if only to avoid the void that having no ideas create. There is worth in that. having seen into that void i know there is worth in every idea, even the safe ones.

"not worthy of being called an idea"... well in one sense of the word, yes, because every "idea" we have is dangerous in the sense that anything and everything we do will eventually make us dead someday, and if dangerous is categorized as "something that can make you dead", than every "idea" that we have is "dangerous", and that includes not having ideas, because not having an idea and having an idea are the exact same thing in relation to existence. this whole thing is all a bunch of bs and easing around the question, but in a way it is true. meh

Hello:
Yes, many ideas that are not dangerous are not only worthy of being called ideas, but are actually ideas.
I hope this helps (but I kinds doubt it will)

No..An idea is something you can do or plan, whether it's a safe idea or a dangerous one has nothing to do with an idea being worth it or not.

Ideas are not dangerous unless action is taken in response to the idea. So while an idea can be an impetus in and of itself it is not dangerous.

a idea is pure
a ideal is gray
a idealist is greedy.
its better to be safe then sorry, i say that with all cynical and displeasure. a idea should raise a eyebrow of others at least, if not a fist. All ideas do for all ideas are pure and worthy, for idea is creation. universally speaking.

dangerous? nah...it's still an idea. maybe it won't go anywhere, but i guess, for some, it sets up a stable "environment" for the ideas that will go somewhere.
like...if you didn't have a stable, or not dangerous, relationship with someone, that "empowers" you to explore the dangerous sides of love.
that explantion was kind of iffy...

Say what?!?
There are many creative, imaginative, inventive ideas that are no where near dangerous and, yet, are extremely worthy.
