View Full Version : Reverse Thinking

I read as a right-brain exercise that thinking about things in reverse helps develop the right brain. For example, instead of cops chasing the bad guys, what if the bad guys chased the cops? Things like that; it gets the imagination juices flowing.

One I thought about was this:
People play music, but what if music played people? I thought... wow, that is dance. (I was listening to Godsmack when I thought about that :D)

Does anyone else have things of this sort they can offer to entertain right-brain thought?

Thank you,

It reverse think is it not? Lest look at thing the opposite of how people normally do. People look at them self’s as god greatest creation so I would recommend “talking monkeys”.

What type of sandwich? I believe some sandwhiches would be vegitarians, like a peanut butter sandwhich. Chicken sandwiches would be the most feared... Chik-fil-a has people eating more chicken, so they are looking for revenge.

Knowledge is not made from the universe, but the universe is made from knowledge.
Or is it the other way around :confused:

1) Knowledge is not made from the universe, but the universe is made from knowledge.

If this is the case, then there must be some higher being that knew stuff before the creation of the universe (in order to create it). However, humans have knowledge of the universe, but where does it come from since the universe does not supply knowledge? Ah... good question.

2) The universe is not made form knowledge, but knowledge is made from the universe.

In this case, wouldn't the idea that God created the universe be wrong? To create it he or she would have to be knowledgable enough to create it.

Another might be…
As I learn more, I learn that I knew less than I thought I did.
And in reverse…
I thought I knew less than I could, but as I am now learning, this is true.
Wait that’s the same thing. Sorry, nevermind. :eek:
