The case of solving complex problems with surprising ideas and new perspectives is exemplified by Alexander the Great’s ‘Gordian Knot’ or the ‘Egg of Columbus.’ If you have tried using the same perspective and approach but have not achieved your goal, you must tackle it from a completely different perspective and method. Nevertheless, the reason we continue to cling to our previous perspective and direction is that we focus too much on the method. If you get caught up in the method, you lose sight of your purpose. If you lose your purpose, you may end up trying the same method again. If the will is strong and misguided, it is possible to repeat this. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
According to a cognitive psychologist’s study, creativity is closely related to goal setting. Even though it seems less likely than it does for someone who simply sets a viable goal, a person who sets an unusual goal is more likely to have the ability to connect unrelated elements. In terms of creativity, “dreaming” is more important than planning. One of the things artificial intelligence can’t do on behalf of humans is engage in this act of dreaming. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
