RE: Lateral Thinking

in Proof of Brain17 hours ago

I think the difference between adults and kids is understanding & experience, in my opinion. Kids are not cumbered or limited because of their lack of inexperience and this is that they're free of prejudice, hate, greed and all that.

Right. Lack of experience tends to equate with lack of understanding. As an adult, this can be a dangerous thing in many domains in life and for a child, it could be perceived as a vulnerability from an adult's perspective.

As an adult, lateral thinking works best as a layer on top of our already developed experience and understanding from logical thinking. It helps us perceive the non-obvious way to do things or come up with creative solutions for persistent logical problems.

Thanks for stopping by :)
