Since the definition is so clear, why school never teach us how to harness / practice brain power? We can all be genius but which side of the brain form talent or how? Why ordinary people don't have talent? Is it true that dumb people use less of their brain? Or What cause stupidity is more interesting to know if there are reasons than what the brain does.

Well, I understand the visual aspect of memory and I rely on it in my work of art, perhaps its true that we are more susceptible to image since it is what dream made of rather than words or language. I practice thinking in English until it became a habit and made myself competent in it though no bombastic vocabulary, you can try it too so you don't have to apologize being poor in it.

Brainstorming with a group of half bake yield nothing and the decision is always made by the senior or responsible for it, youngsters who came from better financial support tends to have too much ego in the brain and the older one eat salt more than we eat rice. Not many people willing to subject themselves to test their own brain power that could shame them and stop improving, as long as they are comfortable living a life, they think they know enough and are doing the right thing until the winds of change struck and they panic.

It is scary and unpleasant to found ourselves being stupid, will say the wrong thing and agitate to comments. As such, talking about the brain to grown ups isn't really going to get any where.

I watched a few documentary about all the subject being discussed here, seems all are from after watching Astro. Since Astro keep repeating, no more new topic here, so much for thinking outside the box.

When I was younger, I could not understand how one can think from outside if never been out of the well. It simply mean to think from other's perspective but one need to know and experience more things to be able to do that, otherwise assume from age factor or shallow mentality. I don't tell people to think outside the box because it is the same as asking stupid chicken or egg question, I laughed the first time someone ask me that question nearly 20 years ago, a fool tries to act smart but people still asking today.

A lot of people don't understand what they know, knowing is not understanding and echo the words everywhere as if they understand. This is dangerous, scam / strayed religion / propaganda / new cult ride on this defect. We don't control which side of the brain to perform as desire like you don't try to balance a bicycle after you can ride one, your mind can think of other things even hallucinate in daydream.

Does it make us smarter to know which side of the brain is for what? Do we need to know the purpose of being human to live a life? Why ask more questions that don't matter or don't have answer? If we are not in the position / qualify to investigate and provide credible answer, discussing in the box won't produce anything.

Before someone invent the telescope, everyone can see the moon with eyes, if you have not live in ancient time, read la but how to increase sales? Everyone must invent a new technique? Suddenly become creative? Imagine will do? Real world is not fake 3D art, you are making a bad example of assuming you understand from what you know.

Find out what is knowing and understanding before you make a fool of yourself.

I sorry, didn't realize you are so young. What is your answer to chicken or egg?

I cannot brain your question "let's say now,we dont know how to make telescope,and we want to how does universe look like?", "let's build something that can fly us to the moon." Why go to the moon to see how universe look like?

Learning new things is not thinking outside the box, a student in school is in the box prior to the real world, until you begin to fend for yourself, you know nothing about working, so you can only say you know about occupation but you cannot say you understand, thinking is to analyze the problem and concoct possible solutions from various factors.

Just because you can practice masturbation does not mean you are good in sexual intercourse, why? Wait until you got married lah, cannot rush mah. Think outside like fantasize is not the same as touching the real person.
Why I become an artist? Because I like to draw and failed all subjects except English & Art. So no choice loh but what does that has to to with the box? Do you know what is talent? Why is it a gift?

Include what possibilities? Your question don't make sense, it is because you are not using your ability to forge proper communication, I have been young before but you cannot say you've been old before, so I am talking to you from a bigger box and there are many sizes.

what u said,it is just like, u think u understand but actually u dont.
If you feel agitated and echo what was said to you means you are reacting from your emotion because you can't differentiate knowing & understanding. In simpler term; Someone say f u and you reply the same, does it answer your question? I remember slapping myself many times acting exactly like you many moons ago, you'll get over it when you grow up.

Err... mostly stupid questions are just stupid, trying to harness one brilliant idea from a pool of nonsense is a waste of energy and time. Human no longer stumble on things that has not been done before but bunch of things that people not willing to do.

What is THINKING??
The act of thinking is to daydream, fantasize in controlled manner while awake and disconnect from physical reality into the realm of no boundaries except religious and taboo, concoct using all recorded information in the brain and act like GOD but limited by knowledge & experience aka the BOX.

Think outside the box simply means try to think from other people's point of view rather than personal preference, it only tell us to stop being ourselves maybe act stupid can loosen up stubborn brain.

We have to accept the best possible answer at the time until there are other explanation, before we know more, we live with knowing little and as you said, willing to look stupid to know how it feels that may invoke creative thinking.

A) Thinking is the act of controlled daydream, the eyes is open but some tasks is not primary and you drive home not remember the journey. I remember pay money for patrol at the counter but forgot to pump fuel and drove off.

B) The brain is just the organ and we can ignore its presence, where the mind is created. A lifetime recording organ that identify us as who we are individually and our personality change according to what we learn and encounter.

Human is unique because of intelligence, music is composed inside the brain before an orchestra, stone can be carved into sculpture and scientists concoct experiment before it is tested like atomic reaction, sent man to the moon and back to earth...
In other words, think beyond restriction (the box) is to exercise intelligence, everything around us are made from processes, from carpentry into injection moulding, CRD to plasma display in such short time make the ordinary people look like Pluto.

1,2) Some engineer invent but most are service provider, astronauts have to die for the good enough reason to investigate shows no perfection, only temporary solution and the unsinkable Titanic sunk.

3) Here is the difference between unique and ordinary, people share the same physiology but one think he can do better and become efficient while others think we are all the same and say he is talented, while it is just discipline all along, who or what trigger the intention is in the growing up process. Living process made us who we are today, a social product and we can’t be fully prepared to live a life, hence, fall into misery and get into troubles, every man want sex even thought cannot provide, social standard made us practice control otherwise uncivilized.

Animal live life as it is, some have obvious defense mechanism even plant develop thorn and poison to deter from eaten. How do they know animal will eat them while they don’t have brain? Why they don’t want to serve the living cycle? Ordinary grass grow faster than animal can divulge and feces provide the exchange.

The answer is, living things rely on instinct alone only human can think hence, we are unique being the only kind and no in between.
