How Ideas Arise. Sergei Zaitsev

Combining the known to get the unknown.

      10. Make lists of all possible uses of the object.

      11. It is believed that listening to classical music stimulates creative activity.

      12. Try to look at the problem from a different point of view. So, the dogs, seeing something incomprehensible, tilt their heads.

      13. Ordinary people prefer the old, proven method, and believe that there is one right solution. Having found an acceptable solution, they calm down. The creative person continues to search in order to find the best solution.

      Currently, most educational institutions do not teach correct thinking, but try to stuff as much heterogeneous information into the student’s head as possible. Then this information in a half-digested form climbs out of them on the exam. According to the philosophy of Shanakya Pandit, these superfluous, unused semi-knowledge is poison for the mind and memory, and lead to mass stupefaction of students. There are other reasons for their stupefaction. This is a manifestation of hierarchy in the team. There is always a leader in the group who morally suppresses the others. If a leader moves to another group, another leader arises. If a leader moves to another group, another leader arises. The constant following of someone else’s thought at lectures depresses creativity. Sitting all day and multitasking, a vague idea of the goal and methods of achieving it also negatively affects. An excess of information depresses thought in the same way as a fire that is too full of firewood depresses fire.
