Design Theory: An Introduction to Lateral Thinking

[@STIMULUSVIDEO]

Just a very quick explanation of a complex topic. I'll go into more detail in the next video.

[@katm828]

I like the mood of your videos, and you know what? No ads really does make a difference! It creates a stillness (in a good way) that mirrors your artwork.

[@allezondrataylor2382]

I really enjoyed this video. However, I wish you didn't curse. I'm not pushing political correctness, but I wanted to use this video in my design lesson unit. It was still very helpful!

[@asand1234]

The 2 curse words, that students have heard before and probably said before, are a problem.. But the picture of a guy chugging a bottle of wine isn't? Lol. I'm the time you wrote your comment, you could have bleeped out the curse words.

[@SketchTogether]

I was going to say “Thank you” but I started thinking laterally and I realized I should say that you're great. Then I went deeper and realized I was feeling love. But I turned even more lateral and found I could just use an emoji. ❤️

"We can't break the law." Or... We can't get caught breaking the law.

[@MatthewAGilbert]

Excellent video! Would love to show it to my university students, but the profanity prevents me from doing so; any chance you can make a "radio edit" version of this for academic use?

[@nurtured-channel2953]

Soo sad

[@BryceBarbier]

surely you can think your way around this issue.

[@Catsaresupergreat]

Agreed

[@codelucky]

Here are the most important points from the video: • The phrase "think outside the box" is a cliche that doesn't actually help people. • We are often limited by time, budget, and legal constraints, but we can still think creatively within these limits. • Edward de Bono developed the concept of lateral thinking, which involves coming up with unconventional solutions to straightforward problems. • Lateral thinking involves bypassing our initial assumptions and exploring alternative perspectives. • Instead of working harder and longer to earn more money, we might consider finding ways to reduce our expenses and live more efficiently. • By thinking creatively, we can find solutions that are more elegant and effective than simply working harder.

[@TrustedHousePainter]

Actually, some of the richest and most powerful people "break the law". Thats precisely how they became rich and powerful.

Interesting little video! Looking forward to more :-)

[@activestyle4324]

To me the plan of moving to the Philippines you had I had a long time ago but better things came so I didn’t follow through with it but it certainly wasn’t crazy & you would be smart to reconsider the possibility.., but then again I’m not as tame you for when said one of the boxes we live in is ‘you can’t break law’ my first thought was ‘like hell I can’t’

[@STIMULUSVIDEO]

lol then let's just say youtube rules are the box that prevents me from advocating breaking the law. Many corporations break laws, good for them.

[@skippingseconds]

I am laughing so hard at all the professors and puritans in the comment section. Maybe you all can use some “lateral thinking” and find a solution for your classes rather than complain about the language in this video lmfao

[@Catsaresupergreat]

Personally, I don't have a problem with the language in this video. I think it adds a bit of fun to it, and lends a kind of too cool for school vibe - which kids respond well to. Sadly, though, teachers have to contend with parents who feel quite strongly about language, and these parents will overlook the value of a great video simply because it had a 'bad word' in it. So, since I am a teacher and really liked this video, I gave some feedback. I think this video could help a lot of teachers, but they will be reluctant to use it because of the swearing. A lot of time and effort went into making this video, so I would guess the creator would be eager to hear legitimate feedback. Teachers don't have time to edit out swear words so that their grade 7 and 8 students can watch it without going back home and telling Mum and Dad etc.

But isn't thinking out of the box the same as lateral thinking I mean in both of them you try to find other solutions that are not logical or obvious. I'm honestly just confused rn

[@STIMULUSVIDEO]

it's a semantic difference. just a slightly more useful metaphor in my opinion

[@nurtured-channel2953]

The issue is why the box in the first place???

[@jhizall6420]

Love the presentation

[@HolographicSweater]

we can't break teh law? that doesnt sound like lateral thinking to me

[@gretaanne6403]

So, did you actually move to the Philippines? Just curious..

[@STIMULUSVIDEO]

no but I'll probably move out of California to a cheaper state...

[@darthclone7]

Aww.. I'm from Philippines but I didnt grow up there.. but when went I see alot of koreans living in my country opening a small computer shop by the beaches like you showed and living there.. man when this KZbin channel gets big you should try living there atleast a year no doubt you'll enjoy that experience

[@adityakanjula4624]

Great video.

Quit your job. Move to a 3rd world country and live like a king.

[@nurtured-channel2953]

Great intro😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-vz7tn2gb3r]

I don't think this is a good example of briefly showing lateral thinking. Your example was limited based on what your desires are.

[@sly-shot]

The purpose of thinking is often to accomplish goals, and you shouldn't put forth any goal which you do not want. Thinking isn't 'limited' to desires in general, as much as good for making them a reality. There's nothing wrong with showing that lateral thinking is good for that. I personally don't like this example so much because the premise "A person living in an expensive neighborhood who wants to vacation more" is pretty easy to find solutions for. Something more tricky would have been better, I think.

[@Mal4de]

Meh... It all means "be creative".

NSFW - I really do like the presentation and the simple explanation of lateral thinking but I was/am looking for something I can use with my high school class.

[@KrystelSpicerMindArkLateralThi]

Help? Please. Here's what's going on your free writer lateral thinkes. Saying "people are going to do what people are going to to". That is trap math. Continues . . Negligence is harmful. Most people are only doing what they want, & what to please & impress, or for who in their peer group or range, 'not wanting to be bothered'. Doing & solving what we want, well, most people I think won't try or haven't the spare hand to help end this suffering. When a child is torn from their mother inhumanely, there may be some understand person she may grieve to. A card or something of 'sorry for your loss'. This is a life of torture, loneliess, never complete happiness, on & on, & usually, if anyone says anything to me, it's never comforting. They try to sound mature & confident as they say "she'll come back. A child has one mother. She'll grow up. Kids these days. Give her time. You should try to reach out". Yes with all the lack of love on the one hand, & the lack of support on the other, & 1 family member who cares about me, it is generally a thought a considered thing to suggest to me to keep being a friendly, helpful mum, tolerant of pain she could cause me. It seems to me she hates me. The last thing she said to me was she hates me. She wants sympathy sympathy sympathy and through things I've never meant as rude or nasty. She chose them, like chose Candace & other people.. like if they were worthwhile people then I was worth letting die alone to live as a writer & not ever ever feel ok. What if I wait all my life, never reprieved & never anyone knowing I wasn't what she's disguised me as, for what purpose I don't know. I need her to tell the person/people that what she'd said to make such strong point that no one should cherish or care about me or question what she says about me so to take 'her side' for her having taken 'their side', in lieu of my ever being ok, that she doesn't hate me, & doesn't even not love me. Maybe she needed years & years to let off steam. The older she gets, the longest she says what she says, she won't be able to say she'd been letting off steam for anguish we'd caused her. Every parent has caused their child to feel anguish at times. She's never nice to me. Never contacts me. Her hatred grows & doesn't stop growing. I stay away, & it gets worse. If I talk to her it gets worse. If I plead & cry, I'm called "that person". I don't like that Jake doesn't care she's so relentlessly keeping me dead to her & her world. When he's a father, is he going to play their children against me so long as she never take back a thing she's said, or says anything nice? "She gets massacred because she gets massacred" is trap math. This free writer lateral thinker hasn't the money for the hardcore writers tech I need, so, this free writer lateral thinker hasn't the money for the writers tech I need. A free writer lateral thinker, dealing with the backlog of problems people not want to look at to need to solve, need best writers tech, free. Money hasn't anything to do with that tech is meant for this type of writer, & tech folk not having provisioned it for us. Money keeps getting used in the reason why I not have hardcore tech, & money's also being used as the means procuring such equipment. We write for free, because people who are brought shouldn't write about issues concerning all society. Money corrupts, &, maths is fraudulent. How is it there's no one developing tech equipment to enable free writers to be more productive, if they were really good at math. Why can't they work out that the more people agreed with too much buying people with items & wages & the solving of problems they want to solve wanting to 'call shots', the lower the shock threshold for truth that hurts of the collective, the riskier it is to be a free writer who sometimes writing things that may confront or irrationally concern people & the less people become writers, the more, & faster, & quicker & better who remains of free writer lateral thinkers need to write? Math is a tool to advantage over who not do it so well, only revealing so much as to help their cause/s. People only feel responsible for hurting people for having done something to hurt them, but if it hurts us when they do nothing, no one acknowledges how their neglect's cost a person. It doesn't only cost us to neglect us, but we also look like who in the crowd people kick to get to kick again. It's a "they get kicked because they get kicked" life for who gets kicked. It's like cursing someone to hell, & not a word is uttered in acknowledgement about this. It feels like slow murder when math folk not admit they treasure their own lives & fortunes they won't stop the trap math. It's like the daughter that always crushes the mother to keep the identity in tact. Will you do this all someone's life? I feel buried already, but it's because that's where you want me, not because I feel dead because there's something wrong with me. It's like being eaten alive like a monkey with its head cut open. People seem to need a "who to kick to kick", & they won't stop. Math may be real, but math folk are the biggest liars of all people in regard to lying by omission & the very intentionally 'accidentally' lowering prospects of others survival. I haven't met one person with the means. They keep quieter than moths on sunny days, acting like they're not a part of this world. If they're not, then, what are they doing with currency which is for people of the world to use to solve problems. The maths person is like a hole in a bucket, or a fork in the back keeping us weak. It's trap math that who use math to make things for money be expected to apply their math knowledge to the betterment of society. "They do the math so they'll be doing the math" looks like the 'widely agreed with' logic written on free writer lateral thinkers & philosophers headstones. Money means nothing but fun issuing suffering, contemptuous for that you share the world with the rest of us. ..When you 'syphon' the money, & lean on people & exacerbate their problems which your trap math excuses you from solving, whilst solve problems you want which you place on the problem pile yourselves to prosper, well "their having the money & getting to pick the problems to solve people should spend money on ..doesn't make sense anymore. Math folk aren't just using math so get to pick the problems. They're using real math & creating a whole lot of backlog of problems ..which there aren't free writer lateral thinkers provisioned the free tech we need to keep up with it. They're like my daughter the math man. They want me to die, utterly, & to push down & down until I do. If maths folk really did math, they'd know it's wrong to think they're the only ones shutting doors on the people they shut doors on. They act like they don't know they're not the only one doing it. For all tech society to be such snobs is callous & sadistic gang thuggery. It's greedy, & it creates & reinforces helplessness of the people who's problems to solve go on & on burried.
