While as Jerry says, good ideas may not be recognized if they come from unconventional sources, there is also no shortage of bad ideas being generated by freelancers. Thinking of quasi-scientists like Rudolf Steiner (Biodynamic Agriculture), Willhelm Reich (Orgone Energy), L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology), to name a few. The better ones found their home in creative fiction (H. G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, Phillip K. Dick).
