Leonardo Ideas can be systematically identified

Science Fiction as case studies from a future history

# Hype Mining
 You could start looking for Leonardo Ideas from potentially impactful ideas that *felt* like they were in the adjacent possible in the past and precisely identify what constraints prevented them from existing.  
This takes advantage of criteria #1 from the fact that [[Leonardo Ideas can be systematically identified]] (*Would be impactful if existed.*)  and is depending on past excitement both as an indicator of impact and that the idea might be in the adjacent possible. People get excited about things that feel possible. 

**Practically, this could involves**
- Digging through old issues of publications that capture [[Hype Cycles]] like Wired and Popular Science.
- Reading through old journals.
- Talking to industry experts
**Ideas to Dig Into**
