I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success […] such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.

Informationszeitalter ⇒ Konzeptuelles Zeitalter – Daniel Pink

In seinem Bestseller A Whole New Mind. Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future, der im März 2005 erschienen ist, schluss-
folgerte Daniel Pink, die Zukunft werde den rechtshirnig orientierten Mitmenschen gehören, und zwar sowohl im Hinblick
auf das persönliche Glücksempfinden als auch auf die globale Geschäftswelt.
Die Wirksamkeit der schöpferischen Kraft im Einzelnen als auch in Systemen bezieht sich auf sechs sinngestalterische Aus-
drucksformen, die auch für die Aufrechterhaltung der Kreativität sorgen:

            Design, Geschichte, Symphonie, Empathie, Spiel und Sinngebung.            

 

Im Konzeptuellen Zeitalter wird die linkshirnig dominierte Weltanschauung durch sechs wesentliche rechtshirnige Bega-
bungen ergänzt werden. Es kommt vorwiegend auf Kreativität, Erfindungsreichtum, Empathie und Verständnis von Zusam-
menhängen an, nicht mehr vordergründig auf Wissen und lineares Denken.

 

0. Neben dem Fluss (fließenden Inhalten//Kontent) zählt auch das Flußbett (konstanter Kontext).
1. Neben der Funktion zählt auch das Design.
2. Neben Argumenten und Fakten wirken auch Geschichten.
3. Neben der Fokussierung auf Details brauchen wir auch ganzheitliche Sichtweisen.
4. Neben der Logik bedarf es auch der Empathie.
5. Neben der Ernsthaftigkeit ist auch das Spielen wichtig.
6. Neben der Anhäufung von materiellen Gütern zählen auch Sinnfälliges und Spiritualität.

 

Vier wesentliche historische Zeitalter – Daniel Pink
Das Buch A Whole New Mind widmet sich dem ganzheitlich ausgerichteten neuen Denken und beschreibt die Aufeinanderfolge von
vier wesentlichen historischen Zeitaltern, in denen sich menschliche Kreativität jeweils mit einem anderen Impetus ausdrückte.

In großen Teilen der ersten Welt [Hochzivilisation] findet eine noch nicht bekannt gewordene seismische Verschiebung statt. Von einer Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, die auf den logischen, linearen, computerhaften Fähigkeiten des In-
formationszeitalters
fußte, bewegen wir uns in eine Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, die sich auf erfinderische, empa-
thische, ganzheitsperspektivische Fähigkeiten
berufen wird, die anstelle der bisherigen im Konzeptuellen Zeit-
alter
auftauchen werden.
Die letzten Jahrzehnte gehörten einem Menschentyp, der eine bestimmte Art zu denken vorweist – den Computer-
programmierern, die Codes knacken, den Anwälten, die Verträge aushandeln, und den Betriebswirten, die gut mit Zahlen umgehen können.
Nun allerdings wechseln die Schlüssel des Reichs die Besitzer.
Die Zukunft wird völlig anders gestrickten Menschen mit einer ganz anderen Art zu denken gehören – den Schöpfe-
rischen und Einfühlsamen, den Musterentdeckern und Sinnfindern
. Diese Künstler, Erfinder, Designer, Ge-
schichtenerzähler
, Fürsorglichen, Trostspender und großperspektivischen Denker
werden von nun an die höchsten Belohnungen der Gesellschaft ernten und an ihren größten Freuden teilhaben.

Verblüffende Synektik-Methode

Hesiod
Hesiod und die Muse
Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) französischer Maler

Auf der Grundlage intensiver Studien über Denk- und Problemlösungsprozesse entwickelte der amerikanische Erfinder und Psychologe William J. J. Gordon (1919-2003) 1944 die Synektik-Methode. Synektik ist eine wenig bekannte Kreativitätsmethode, welche die unbewussten Denkprozesse nutzt und zu-
sammenfügt. Der Name der Methode leitet sich von dem griechischen Wort synechein (Dinge miteinander in Verbindung bringen; verknüpfen) ab. Gordon wandte das paradoxe Prinzip an:
Entfremde das Vertraute und mache dir das Fremde vertraut.

Prinzipien der Schöpferischen – Leonardo da Vinci

Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) war ein unehelich geborenes Kind im mittelalterlichen Italien. Das beidhirnig engagierte Universalgenie war Maler, Musikkomponist, Bildhauer, Architekt, Anatom, Mechaniker, Ingenieur, Schriftsteller, Erfinder und Naturphilosoph. Er war ein homosexueller Synästhet und Vegetarier. Er schrieb
zweisprachig, war ein beidhändig begabter Linkshänder, der zudem die Spiegel- und Hakenschrift beherrschte.

Prinzipien der Schöpferischen – Thomas Alva Edison

Das Leitsatz des US-amerikanischen Erfindergenies und Geschäftsmanns Thomas Alva Edison war:

Entlocke der Natur ihre Geheimnisse und nutze sie zur Vermehrung des Glücks der Menschen.
Bring out the secrets of nature and apply them for the happiness of men.

 

Edison erfand nicht nur die Glühlampe, sondern hatte eine Vision, die ganze Welt zu erhellen. Aus seiner Erfindung des Grammofons ging die moderne Musikaufnahmeindustrie hervor. Er wendete ein systematisches Innovations-System mit
fünf wesentlichen Prinzipien an:

Buckminster Fullers Gnadenerlebnis

Im Alter von 32 Jahren im Jahr 1927 war Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

Pudel
Königspudel

⚑ bankrott,
⚑ arbeitslos,
⚑ trostlos und verzweifelt,
⚑ zweimal aus der Uni rausgeflogen.
⚑ Er hatte einen schlechten Ruf.
⚑ Er lebte in einer Sozialunterkunft in Chicago.
⚑ Seine Tochter Alexandra war an Polio-Meningitis verstorben.
⚑ Er besaß weder Sachwerte noch Geld, um seine Frau und
    sein zweites neugeborenes Kind zu ernähren.

 

Fullers Unglückserie und die Misserfolge hatten ihn in tiefe Ver-
zweiflung gestürzt und er wurde zu einem Trinker.
In Trauer um sein verstorbenes Kind begab sich der gebrochene Mann an das Ufer des Michigansees, mit der Absicht, Selbst-
mord zu begehen – durch Ertrinken im See. Dennoch hatte er Gott ein Ultimatum gestellt. Er würde weiterleben, wenn er ein Zeichen bekäme, noch ehe er das Wasser erreicht hatte.

 

Auf dem Spazierweg entlang des Seeufers begegnete der verzweifelte Fuller einem weißen Pudel, der mit seiner Besitzerin unterwegs war. Zu seinem Erstaunen sah er von beiden die Aura. Plötzlich sprach eine Stimme in ihm:

"Du gehörst dir nicht. Du gehörst dem Universum."

 

Beeindruckt von den Zeichen, unvermittelt hellsichtig und hellhörig zu sein, beschloss er, sein weiteres Leben als Experiment zu leben, um festzustellen, was ein Einzelner "im Namen der Menschheit" beitragen könne, die Welt zum Nutzen der Menschheit zu verändern. Während seines nachfolgenden Lebensexperiments entdeckte er die "Nachhaltigkeit".

 

"Du musst dich entscheiden, ob du Geld verdienen oder Sinnstifter sein willst.
Diese beiden Lebensentwürfe schließen sich gegenseitig aus."

Schlussfolgerungen

 

 

Blume

  • Wohl-Sein bedeutet, [...] schöpferisch zu sein, das heißt, als der wirkliche, ganze Mensch, der ich bin, auf mich, auf andere, auf alles Existierende, so wie er oder es wirklich ist, zu reagieren und einzugehen [...] und sie gleichzeitig als meine Welt zu sehen [...].
    Erich Fromm (1900-1980) deutsch-amerikanischer Sozialpsy-

  • Du bist der Schöpfer deiner selbst durch die Gedanken, die du wählst und heraufbeschwörst. Dieser Geist ist der große Weber des inneren Gewandes des Charakters und des äußeren Gewandes der Umstände. Und so, wie du bisher unwissend und voller Leid daran gewoben hast, kannst du jetzt glücklich und erleuchtet daran weben.

Erfinderidealismus ausgebremst durch Managerrealismus

  • Nur zu oft ist der Erfinder der faustische Idealist, der die Welt verbessern möchte, aber an den harten Realitäten scheitert. Will er seine Ideen durchsetzen, muss er sich mit Mächten einlassen, deren Realitätssinn schärfer und ausgeprägter ist. In der heutigen Zeit sind solche Mächte, ohne dass ich damit ein Werturteil aussprechen möchte, vornehmlich Militärs und Manager. […] Nach meiner Erfahrung sind die Chancen des Einzelnen, sich gegen solches Paktieren zu wehren, gering. Konrad Zuse (1910-1995) deutscher Bauingenieur, Erfinder und Unter-
    nehmer (Zuse KG), zitiert in: Artikel Rassenforschung am Rechner, präsentiert von dem deutschen Nachrichtenmagazin Der Spiegel, S. 118f., Ausgabe 24, 14. Juni 2010

Von Konkurrenz/Objekt zu Zusammenwirken/Subjekt

Wettbewerb bestimmt unser Handeln. Ohne Konkurrenz, glauben wir, entwickeln wir uns nicht weiter. Hirnforscher Gerald Hüther hält das für einen Denkfehler. Eine neue Kultur des Zusammenlebens und setzt auf "Potenzialentfaltungsgemeinschaften".

  • Wir müssten aufhören, andere als Objekte unserer eigenen Ziele und Maßnahmen zu benutzen, und einander stattdessen als Subjekte begegnen. Dann findet wirklicher Austausch statt, dann entsteht das, was wir Kokreativität nennen. Interview mit Prof. DDr. Gerald Hüther gerald-huether.de (*1951) deutscher Neurobiologe, Professor für neurobiologische Grundlagenforschung, Universität Göttingen, wissenschaft-
    licher und populärwissenschaftlicher Referent, Autor, Die Einzelkämpferphaseist vorbei., präsentiert von der deutschen Monatsfachzeitschrift Psychologie Heute, Juni 2015

 

  • Kreativen Menschen werden folgende Persönlichkeitsmerkmale zugeschrieben:
    Energie- oder Aktivitätspotenzial,
    ⚑ Neugier, Konflikt- und Frustrationstoleranz,
    ⚑ Unabhängigkeit, Nonkonformismus, Problemsensitivität,
    ⚑ Flexibilität, Eigenständigkeit,
    Denken sucht in vielen Richtungen nach Ansätzen,
    ⚑ Bereitschaft zur Umgestaltung von Wahrnehmungs- und Denkinhalten in Richtung auf neue Ordnungssysteme.
Brockhaus Enzyklopädie, S. 476, 1996

 

  • Die Neugier ist die mächtigste Antriebskraft im Universum, weil sie die beiden größten Bremskräfte im Universum überwinden kann: die Vernunft und die Angst." Walter Moers (*1957) deutscher Comiczeichner, Autor, Die Stadt der Träumenden Bücher, S. 325, Piper Verlag, München, 2006

 

  • Diese materialistische Weltanschauung hat sich aus dem Studium der anorganischen Welt, der Welt der Nicht-Le-
    bewesen, entwickelt. Darum kann die materialistisch orientierte Wissenschaft nur mit den Kräften arbeiten, die nicht
    lebendig sind, das heißt Kräfte des Todes und des Verfalls. Diese Sichtweise bestimmt praktisch all diese neuen
    Technologien. Wenn wir also nicht wachsam genug sind, werden diese Technologien todbringende technologi-
    sche Hilfsmittel
    hervorbringen.
    Nanotechnologie mechanisiert den Körper.
    Biotechnik mechanisiert das Leben.
    Informationstechnik mechanisiert das Bewusstsein.
    ➤ Und Kognitionstechnik und Künstliche Intelligenz mechanisieren unsere Denkprozesse.
    Es gibt nur einen Bereich, den alle diese Technologien nicht mechanisieren können. Das ist die Kreativität des menschlichen Geistes in uns. So zwingt die technologische Einseitigkeit die Menschheit dazu, zu einer weiter entwickelten Spezies zu werden, die intelligenter und vor allem weiser sein wird, als tausend miteinander vernetzte Supercomputer.

  • Wir müssen aktiv werden und das schöpferische Po-

  • Inspiration ist die Grundsubstanz der Kreativität. Daniel Biester, Schweizer-deutscher Missionar tätig in der Stadt Riberalta, Amazonien, Bolivien, Quelle unbekannt

 

  • Die Abwesenheit von Konflikten allein ist nicht genug. Authentische Freundschaft – in der wir kreative Partner sind und das Leben, Gott und den GEIST lieben – erfordert Menschen, die mit Konflikten so kreativ wie möglich um-
    gehen. Dabei geht es nicht immer nur friedlich zu, aber es wird ekstatisch sein. Es erfordert Autonomie, eine hoch entwickelte Fähigkeit zu Autonomie und Unabhängigkeit, mit der Bereitschaft, so kreativ wie irgend möglich mit anderen Menschen zusammenzuarbeiten, zu tanzen, zu argumentieren und zu kämpfen.
    Damit das geschehen kann, muss das Ego der beiden oder hoffentlich vielen Parteien bereits zu einem erheblichen Grad transzendiert worden sein, so dass wir zusammenkommen, und uns so kreativ wie möglich aneinander reiben können. Diese kreative Spannung wäre dann nicht durch das Ego verursacht, sondern durch das authentische Selbst, […] der Gottesimpuls selbst würde diese Reibung verursachen. Andrew Cohen (*1955) konfrontierender US-amerikanischer Guru, Musiker, Herausgeber des Magazins Was ist Erleuchtung (WIE), Quelle unbekannt

Insights of a poem created after three weeks of spiritual crisis

Personal avowals

  • I had unconsciously confined creativeness to certain conventional areas only of human endeavor, unconsciously assuming that any painter, any poet, any composer was leading a creative life. Theorists, artists, scientists, inventors, writers could be creative. Nobody else could be. Unconsciously I had assumed that creativeness was the prerogative solely
    of certain professionals.
    But these expectations were broken up by various of my subjects.
    ⚑ For instance, one woman, uneducated, poor, a full-time housewife and mother, did none of these conventionally creative things and yet was a marvellous cook, mother, wife and homemaker. With little money, her home was some-
    how always beautiful. She was a perfect hostess. Her meals were banquets. Her taste in linens, silver, glass, crockery and furniture was impeccable. She was in all these areas original, novel, ingenious, unexpected, inventive. I just had
    to call her creative. I learned from her and others like her that a first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting, and that, generally, cooking or parenthood or making a home could be creative while poetry need not be;
    it could be uncreative. […]
    ⚑ From another man I learned that constructing a business organization could be a creative activity.
    ⚑ From a young athlete, I learned that a perfect tackle could be as esthetic a product as a sonnet and could be approached with the same creative spirit. Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) US American transpersonal psychologist, happi-
    ness researcher
    , Toward a Psychology of Being, Wiley, 1st edition 1962, 3rd edition 9. November 1998

 

  • I cannot believe how much of my creativity I have used to keep life away from me rather than to participate in the
    great gift of life. Julia Cameron (*1948) US American teacher, journalist, film director, author, poet, poem Eagle or Sun, date unknown

 

  • I define creativity as the process of creating original ideas that have value.
    RSA Animate video presentation by Sir Ken Robinson (1950-2020) British professor of arts education, University of Warwick (1989-2001), international advisor on education, director of The Arts in Schools Project (1985-1989), speaker, author, Changing education paradigms, presented by TED Talks, minute 7:50, 11:40 minutes duration, recorded October 2010, posted December 2010

 

Recommendations

  • Don't even blink at your own power. You have to trust your love, what you see, what you know, and you have to trust that your insistence is going to lead to something good. That is when you come to a place of power. Then you learn how to marry your thought and emotion. […] Hang on to your anger, because you want to be able to use a little bit of that anger with the thought that you care about deeply, and when you put these two together, something happens. All emotions are useful, when you know how to use them. They are important.

  1. Read widely.
  2. Write often.
  3. Keep going.
  4. Believe in your stories.
Garth Nix (*1963) Australian author, mostly of children's and young adult fantasy novels, cited in: 10 Quotes On Writing, presented by the website writerswrite

 

  • Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. An artist is a creature driven by demons. He don’t know why they choose him and he’s usually too busy to wonder why. He is completely amoral in that he will rob, borrow, beg, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done.
    Interview with William Faulkner (1897-1962) US American essayist, writer, Nobel Prize laureate, 1949, William Faulkner, The Art
    of Fiction No. 12

Response in a letter to an Italian film maker, who had complained to Herzog about how hard it is to receive government arts grants, how the audiences have been ruined by Hollywood, and how the world has lost its taste

  • Quit your complaining. It's not the world's fault that you wanted to be an artist. It's not the world's job to enjoy the films you make, and it's certainly not the world's obligation to pay for your dreams. Nobody wants to hear it. Steal a camera if you have to, but stop whining and get back to work.

Conclusions

  • It is the function of creative people to perceive relations between thoughts, or things, or forms of expressions that
    seem utterly different, and to be able to Connect the seemingly Unconnected.

    sented by the US American daily newspaper The New York Times, 6. August 1967

  • Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that
    was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.
    Unfortunately, that's too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So
    they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on
    the problem. The broader one's understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

It takes three to create a movement.

    1. The one makes up combinations;
    2. the other one chooses, recognizes what he wishes and what is important to him in the mass of the things which the former has imparted to him.

Manifesto of a creative life

Notes to myself on beginning a painting

 

1. Attempt what is not certain. Certainty may or may not come later. It may then be a valuable delusion.
2. The pretty, initial position which falls short of completeness is not to be valued – except as a stimulus
     for further moves.
3. Do search. But in order to find other than what is searched for.
4. Use and respond to the initial fresh qualities but consider them absolutely expendable.
5. Dont "discover" a subject – of any kind.
6. Somehow don't be bored – but if you must, use it in action. Use its destructive potential.
7. Mistakes can't be erased but they move you from your present position.
8. Keep thinking about Polyanna.
9. Tolerate chaos.
10. Be careful only in a perverse way.

Information Age ⇒ Conceptual Age ⇒ Changing expressions of creativity – Daniel Pink

In his 2005 bestseller A Whole New Mind. Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future Daniel Pink concluded that the future will belong to the right brained contempories both in respect to their personal happiness and to trends of the global economy.
Pink states that the keys to creativity and resulting success are in developing and cultivating six senses:
             Design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning.             

 

༺༻Right brain senseLegend
1.Design Paying attention to aesthetics when carrying out any task.
2.Story Conveyance of information to consumers, employees, and others through story-telling techniques.
3.Symphony The ability to put together pieces to create a holistic picture; synthesis is a good synonym.
4.Empathy Identifying with and understanding another person’s circumstances, feelings, and motives.
5.Play Putting fun into every activity to enhance both pleasure and creativity.
6.Meaning Extending the value of an activity beyond the moment and self.

"There is a seismic – though as yet undetected – shift now underway in much of the advanced world. We are moving from an economy and a society built on the logical, linear, computer-like capabilities of the Information Age to an economy and a society built on the inventive, empathic, big-picture capabilities of what's rising in its place, the Conceptual Age.
The last few decades have belonged to a certain kind of person with a certain kind of mind – computer programmers who could crank code, lawyers who could craft contracts, MBAs who could crunch numbers. But the keys to the kingdom are changing hands.
The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind – creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning-makers. These people – artists, inventors, designers, storytellers, caregivers, consolers, bigpicture thinkers – will now reap society's richest rewards and share its greatest joys."

Research on intuition and decision making

"Amos and I shared the wonder of together owning a goose that could lay golden eggs – a joint mind that was better than our separate minds." Video interview with Daniel Kahnemann, Ph.D. (*1934) Israeli-American professor of psychology, Princeton Univer-
sity, New Jersey, founder of behavioral economics, Nobel laureate in economic sciences, 2002, Conversations with History, series ID 12295, presented by the satellite television channel University of California Television (UCTV), UC Santa Barbara, host Harry Kreisler, "Institute of International Studies", YouTube film, minute 15:22-18:44, 53:20 minutes duration, 16. May 2008
Daniel Kahnemann and his colleague Amos Tversky (†) were awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in 2002 for their scientific work. In his Nobel biography Kahneman praises his intensive collaboration with Tversky. He calls for a deeper academic cooperation ("adversarial colla-
boration"), not marked by turf battles. In a good-faith effort unlike minds can contribute in conducting a joint research, critiquing each other in the service of an ideal of truth.

 

And they became recluses, and writers, and artists.
Sculptors, and dancers, and dreamers of dreams.
Hermits, poets, and painters, and prophets.
Stewards of mankind. Believers in love.
And the world grew quiet and opened her eyes.
And humanity finally listened.

1. Age of Empowerment1776-1880 Signing of the Declaration of Independence, publication An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith
Democracy (free society) and capitalism (free markets), public education, national banking system, one currency
2. Age of Knowledge1880-1990 Alexander Bell invented the telephone, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, the light bulb, the central electrical power system. Transition from an agrarian to an industrial society. Life expectancy in the United States: 47 years in 1900, 76 years in 1990. Alfred P.

Balanced characteristics of creative people – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

Personal avowal

I have devoted 30 years of research to how creative people live and work, to make more understandable the mysterious process by which they come up with new ideas and new things. If I had to express in one word what makes their personalities different from others, it’s complexity. They show tendencies of thought and action that in most people are segregated. They contain contradictory extremes; instead of being an individual, each of them is a multitude.

Law of diffusion of innovations

The law of Diffusion of innovations is a theory on how, why, and at what rate new ideas and technology spread through cultures. It was popularized by Everett M. Rogers, Ph.D. (1931-2004) US American professor of communication studies, sociologist, author, Diffusion of Innovations, Free Press, Glencoe, 1962, 5th edition 2003

 

  • 2.5% Innovators
  • 13.5% Early adopters
  • 34% Early majority
  • 34% Late majority
  • 16% Laggards

 

The tipping point or the "crossing the chasm" is reached when 13-18% of the population have purchased/adopted the new idea or product.

 

Five stages of the adoption process stage
༺༻StageDefinition
1.Knowledge An individual is first exposed to an innovation but lacks information about the innovation and is not inspired to find more information about the innovation.
2.Persuasion An individual is interested in the innovation and actively seeks information/detail about the innovation.
3.Decision
Individualistic
An individual takes the concept of the change and weighs the advantages/disadvantages of using the innovation and decides whether to adopt or reject the innovation. Rogers noted this phase as the most difficult stage to acquire empirical evidence 1964, S. 83).
4.Implementation An individual employs the innovation to a varying degree depending on the situation – to determines the usefulness of the innovation and may search for further information about it.
5.Confirmation
Intrapersonal
interpersonal
An individual finalizes his/her decision to continue using the innovation.
This stage is both intrapersonal (may cause Cognitive dissonance) and interpersonal (confirmation the group has made the right decision).

Characteristics of gifted people

Six qualities of highly gifted contemporaries – with an IQ of 145 and above
༺༻FeatureDescription
1.Unusual sense of humor
Prone to dry irony
They make a joke and nobody laughs, not because it isn't funny, but because nobody else gets it.
2.Picking up skills quickly Joe is a good chess player thanks to practicing for years on end, his conscientious and higher-than-average in terms of intelligence, or his talent for chess. John is a good chess player after having only played chess for six months. His sudden obsession with an intellectual pursuit is a sign of high intelligence.
3.Obsession with ideas Highly gifted people are consumed by ideas. Subordinated to ideas, they can’t stop thinking and talking about ideas.
4.Ability to see multiple·manifestations of one idea A human who can identify multiple instances of the same phenomenon that appear different is likely to be highly intelligent. Highly intelligent people recognize that a phenomenon is linear rather than exponential without much study. They intuitively know that population growth is exponential for most organisms. Not familiar with how the system works, they tend to ask about the boundary conditions that limit such growth.
5.High verbal/analogical capabilities
Ability to synthesize disparate bodies of knowledge
Highly gifted people can think on more than one level of abstraction simultaneously, who can analyze things at the micro and macro scales with a keen awareness of interactions between phenomena apprehended in different scopes. That way they can analyze a very complex problem and put together a workable solution by combining data and principles from more than one field of knowledge.
6.Ability to think in
organic systemic terms
Average people analyze things in a linear manner ["A therefore B"] seeing the world in terms of linear processes and goals. High-average to gifted people analyze things in a systemic manner, by looking at the world as a big interconnected system or machine, like a Rube-Goldberg apparatus with lots of interconnected parts. They can see degrees of connectedness, with different parts of complex systems interacting like nodes in a network where each connection can have variable strengths, and where new connections can come into being while old ones fall away and weaken or strengthen. They leap from the 3-dimensional mechanistic thinking to the 4-dimensional organic, systemic thinking (which implies recursion and uncertainty). They see how processes unfold over a time-span and can predict a set of most-likely outcomes by analyzing the whole thing dynamically, not stopping the process to understand it step-by-step but moving their mind with that process like a dancer.

Buckminster Fuller's expericence of grace

In 1927 at age 32 Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

⚑ was bancrupt,
⚑ was unemployed, and
⚑ had a bad reputation, and
⚑ living in low-income housing in Chicago.
⚑ His daughter Alexandra died from polio meningitis.
⚑ He had no viable means to support his wife and his other new born child.
Pudel

His failures and misfortunes pushed him over the edge and he started drin-
king heavily. Grieving and miserable he went to the banks of Lake Michi-
gan
– with the intention to commit suicide by drowning himself in the lake.
Yet he had issued an ultimatum to God asking for a sign to turn him around. Along the bank path he met a white poodle followed by the lady who owned him. To his amazement, he saw both their auras. Impressed by this sign of deeper sight he decided to live the remainder of his life as an experiment, to figure out what a single human being can contribute to change the world for the benefit of mankind.

 

[...] "an experiment to discover what the little, penniless, un-
known individual might be able to do effectively on behalf of all humanity."

Buckminster Fuller, cited in: R. Buckminster Fuller, presented by the website Social Synergetics, undated
