"Critical thinking, without creative and intuitive insights, without the search for new patterns, is sterile and doomed. To solve complex problems requires the activity of both cerebral hemispheres; the path to the future lies through the corpus callosum."
~ Carl Sagan, (1934-1996), American astronomer, astrochemist & astrophysicist;
Hip, Hip, Hurray!
As Dilip Mukerjea has so eloquently put it in his book, 'Unleashing Genius, with the World Most Powerful Learning Systems':
"Genius is unleashed when both the 'left' and the 'right' attributes of the brain are working in harmony with one another."
This is how Dilip & I envision it:
LOGIC + IMAGINATION
REASONING + INTUITION
DETAILS + BIG PICTURE
ORDER + CHAOS OR CHAORDIC!
CONVERGENT + DIVERGENT OR SYNVERGENT!
ALGORITHMIC + "FUZZY WOOLY FEEL"
THINKING + DAYDREAMING
COOL HEAD + GUT FEEL
HARD-NOSE + SOFT-FOCUS
FORECASTS WITH NUMBERS + SCENARIOS WITH STORIES
SERIOUSNESS + FUN
WORK + PLAY OR PLORK!
SCANNING THE HORIZON + GROKKING THE FUTURE
ANALYSIS OVER TIME + SYNTHESIS OVER SPACE
TRAVERSING THE MAINSTREAM + STRADDLING THE FRINGES
LINEAR EXTRAPOLATION + RANDOM JUXTAPOSTION
ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALISATION + RAPID PROTOTYPING
ONE-TRACK, STOP-START MOTION + MULTI-DIMENSIONAL,OMNI-DIRECTIONAL PERPETUAL MOTION
INSIDE THE CIRCLE + OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE
