Video: Problems of children with creative and independent thinking

Many creative people say that insights come unexpectedly, during routine actions that have nothing to do with the problem being solved: I watch TV, read a book - and suddenly I have this connection that has not appeared for a long time! The history of science testifies that a discovery cannot be planned, except for technical advances (a computer can also make them), and ideas come to mind when a person is completely unprepared for this.
Generally speaking, for creativity it is necessary to remove cognitive control and not be afraid of mistakes. Mistakes are great. And who can tell what a mistake is?
Not thinking "like everyone else", or the problems of creative children
Independence of thinking is a very important quality. There is a well-known expression - "Think different"
Creative people learn on their own and start doing it very early on. They never consider their unusual ideas, their discoveries to be something extraordinary. This is the most common and obvious thing for them. They often do not understand what, in fact, is their merit, if everything is so obvious. Obviously THEM …
Such people, as a rule, have trouble at school, most of them are smarter than the teachers. They certainly don't know what the teachers know, but they can be smarter. And therefore they find themselves in a very difficult situation, being under the pressure of society.
I had a colleague, a pediatric therapist, he told the following story. One boy - a total poor student at school, sitting at home, being seven years old, invented the steam engine. And he not only invented it, but assembled it.
Imagine: a steam engine running on sunflower oil, sprinkling with this very hot oil, rushes around the apartment! At the same time, everyone considers the boy a fool.
So creative people lead their lives in tough competition.
Why you need to read
To develop, you need to read complex literature. Linear reading is important - from start to finish. Hypertext, forcing to click on the highlighted word and, as it were, fall into it, generates discord in thought.
People who have grown up on this type of reading are unable to read a large text in its entirety. They have ragged consciousness - something from here, from there. When you ask a child what this story was about, he cannot retell it to you.
Scientists' predictions about the future of reading are non-optimistic - they predict a serious split between the capabilities of the intellectual elite and the bulk of the world's population.
But if children only engage in comics, they will not develop not only an algorithm for reading complex literature that forms consciousness, but also an algorithm for complex thinking - they will only think about which button to press to bring you a hamburger.
The brain is plastic not only in childhood, as previously thought. It has been proven that it forms new neural connections until the end of life. Any work other than boring and routine work is beneficial for the brain. The main thing is to deal with constantly changing, complex information.

The creative morality of Soviet art
Soviet art was, apparently, really brilliant, since my post “Composition based on a picture” still continues to receive comments, and discussions about the movie “Spring on Zarechnaya Street” for some time overtook the top news by another throw-in from Artyom Lebedev. It means that it is alive, it is debatable, it excites
Children of Kerch, children of Kemerovo, children of Beslan. If fathers lie, children die
There is a tragedy in Kerch. On October 17, an eighteen-year-old boy Vladislav Roslyakov, a 4th year student at the Polytechnic College, killed 20 people, wounded more than 40, and shot himself. Crazy loner! - the host of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company "60 Minutes" is obstinately hammering - a plastic doll, which, in a metallic gnashing voice, voices what the authorities order. For this she and her partner are paid a lot of money. The event in Kerch is quenched in a lie
Fire in the Central Bank and the project of an independent payment system
What did happen on the evening of August 24 on the top floor of the main building of the Central Bank at 12 Neglinnaya? The semi-official media assured readers that the fire did not damage the documents of the Central Bank and forgot about this story. But it looks like some papers could have burned. There are many questions, let's try to look for answers

Clip thinking cripples children
Young people today perceive any new material in a completely different way than before. Clip thinking is what it's called. Why will children with clip thinking never become the elite?
