The Mechanism of The Mind - Consequences

Consequences

The mind as modeled has some severe limitations.

From The Mechanism of Mind page 182:

“ The limitations of the special memory surface can take one of three forms:
  1. Inability to carry out certain functions.
  2. Actual error.
  3. Inefficient use of information available to it.
”

Thinking modes such as Natural Thinking, Logical Thinking, Mathematical Thinking and Lateral Thinking, are examined in the light of these limitations to see how they may be addressed. The techniques of Lateral Thinking are shown to be specifically designed to bypass these limitations.

Famous quotes containing the word consequences:

    “If you are prepared to accept the consequences of your dreams ... then you must still regard America today with the same naive enthusiasm as the generations that discovered the New World.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    “Every expansion of government in business means that government in order to protect itself from the political consequences of its errors and wrongs is driven irresistibly without peace to greater and greater control of the nation’s press and platform. Free speech does not live many hours after free industry and free commerce die.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    “The middle years are ones in which children increasingly face conflicts on their own,... One of the truths to be faced by parents during this period is that they cannot do the work of living and relating for their children. They can be sounding boards and they can probe with the children the consequences of alternative actions.”
    —Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
