It can - as I never tire of saying. Come over to the site to find out  
how. The movies would be the best starting point.

Best regards

New Thinkers Website

2009-04-17 Thread Kim Jones

What's important? Thinking is perhaps the most important thing humans  
do. By and large they are pretty slip-shod at it. The problems of  
Global Warming and the Global Financial Crisis pale into  
insignificance compared to the problem of the disastrous quality of  
much of human thinking.


For those interested in creative thinking in particular and thinking  
skills generally. I have helped to set up and launch this new venture  
by Edward de Bono which, like the Everything List, is intended to be a  
bit of a swimming pool for high-quality thinkers.

Everyone welcome. If you are unacquainted with Edward's oeuvre, this  
is the quickest way to get an education! In 1995, Edward had an  
asteroid named after him. He is on a list of 200 thinkers who have  
contributed the most to human civilisation throughout history.

see some of you over there, perhaps? (Please bring an interesting  
photo of yourself with you!)

Dear Kim,

thank you for re-introduce me to DeBono. I heard about him in the late 90s
at a list called Creativity (what I disliked, because it positied that Cr.
can be developed and learned - without a proper definition of what they are
talking about indeed. (My position was a dualism: original new ideas and the
'imnprovement-creativity', valuing the 2nd more. Original new ideas have to
come from somewhere, if you find out something like that it must have come
from YOUR existing experience and mindset.
DeBono was much appreciated on that list and I am always suspicious about
crowd-enthusiasm. I neglected a deeper search THEN.
I will look into the DeBobo oeuvre again, because I value YOUR
recommendation. Thanks.
With friendship
John Mikes
