EVERY EXPERT IN THE WORLD SAYS YOUR IDEA CAN'T WORK.

EXPERTS ONLY KNOW ABOUT OLD IDEAS. IF THEY KNEW ABOUT FUTURE ONES, THEY WOULD BE ENTREPRENEURS, NOT EXPERTS.

WELL, MY ENTIRE WORLDVIEW JUST COLLAPSED.

SORRY.

AI Analysis

Title: "Experts Only Know Old Ideas"

Summary:

This 'Dilbert' comic strip humorously highlights the limitations of experts in coming up with new ideas. The conversation between the main character and an expert unfolds as follows:

• The expert claims that every expert in the world says the speaker's idea cannot work.
• The speaker responds by pointing out that experts only know about old ideas and would be entrepreneurs if they knew about future ones.
• The expert apologizes for their entire worldview collapsing.

The comic strip pokes fun at the notion that experts are often stuck in their traditional ways of thinking and may not be open to innovative ideas. It suggests that true innovation comes from outside the box, and that experts may not be the best people to come up with new solutions.
