Brainstorming Doesn’t Really Work. In the late nineteen-forties, Alex Osborn, a partner in the advertising agency B.B.D.O., decided to write a book in which he shared his creative secrets. At the time, B.B.D.O. was widely regarded as the most innovative firm on Madison Avenue. Born in 1888, Osborn had spent much of his career in Buffalo, where he started out working in newspapers, and his life at B.B.D.O. began when he teamed up with another young adman he’d met volunteering for the United War Work Campaign. By the forties, he was one of the industry’s grand old men, ready to pass on the lessons he’d learned. His book “Your Creative Power” was published in 1948. “Your Creative Power” was filled with tricks and strategies, such as always carrying a notebook, to be ready when inspiration struck. The book outlined the essential rules of a successful brainstorming session.
The underlying assumption of brainstorming is that if people are scared of saying the wrong thing, they’ll end up saying nothing at all. Why Being Sleepy and Drunk Are Great for Creativity | Wired Science. Here’s a brain teaser: Your task is to move a single line so that the false arithmetic statement below becomes true. Did you get it? In this case, the solution is rather obvious – you should move the first “I” to the right side of the “V,” so that the statement now reads: VI = III + III. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of people (92 percent) quickly solve this problem, as it requires a standard problem-solving approach in which only the answer is altered. What’s perhaps a bit more surprising is that nearly 90 percent of patients with brain damage to the prefrontal lobes — this leaves them with severe attentional deficits, unable to control their mental spotlight — are also able to find the answer.
Here’s a much more challenging equation to fix: In this case, only 43 percent of normal subjects were able to solve the problem. Of course, this doesn’t mean you should take a hammer to your frontal lobes. This helps explain a new study led by Mareike Wieth at Albion College.

Edward Stachura: "With My Willpower I'll Fall in Love with Her " She pointed to the armchair and said: "Please, sit down. " I sat. She moved a chair to the right armrest of the armchair and put an ashtray and matches on top of it. Then she placed another chair some twelve feet in front of the armchair and she too sat down. "Have a smoke"—she said. I reached obediently to the pocket of my coat, took a cigarette out of the packet, and lit it. "I have something to tell you. She became silent, looked at the window and again at me. "You are a man; I, as you can see, am a woman. " And she smiled. "I'm a woman—the girl resumed—and . . . how shall I say . . . well, I'm a normal woman.
" "If it's true, that's good"—I thought. "Everything I'm going to say is true"—she said, as if she perceived with I don't know what sense that I had just thought about it a moment ago. I nodded. "I'm a normal woman"—the girl resumed—"but for some time, for a long time, there hasn't been a man in my life. ". . . "Strange"—I thought. "You don't slink . . .
"Can I go on? " "No. "No.

Timothy McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Spider-Man Speaks At Career Day. Hi, kids. I just thought I’d swing by and give a little speech to you youngsters about picking a career that you’d like to do for the rest of your life. I was going to do my regular “with great power comes great responsibility” spiel, but your principal actually already covered that in his introduction of me. It’s nice to have an introduction, don’t get me wrong, but he stole a bit of my thunder when he went on to literally say all of my famous lines. Honestly, right now, I’m pretty angry with your principal, kids.
Now is the time where I was going to throw in a joke such as, “Is that potential I smell or is that just my spider sense tingling?” So, plan B. The point is, a lot of you probably want to be a superhero or a fireman. And you little girl in the fourth row with all lip-gloss on—you’re probably going to face a lot of pressure from the boys to engage in sexual activities. But at your age, you guys are just starting to discover women. I’m done. [Pushes over podium.] Science Valentines by stephoodle. Shoebox & Chuck & Beans. The Art of War. Dom kallar oss hårdrockare.
