One of the world's most influential thinkers Edward de Bono and the father of 'lateral thinking' tells Bloomberg UTV's Hindol Sengupta why the recession was a 'thought problem'!
Dr Edward De Bono 's methods in critical thinking is the most simplistic creative way of expressing thoughtful ideas, alternatives, problems , evaluation and solutions!
Thank you for uploading. Very important video, very important discussion! Edward de Bono is one of our greatest think tanks, and his ideas are really not mainstream, and they are not embraced by the mainstream consumer paradigm. In fact, they are contradicting it. If we want to develop our present international consumer culture into a brainsmart culture, we need to go on the lines of de Bono's ideas.
de Bono - excellent as always ! Hindol - thank you for asking economy related questions . I ve seen lots of videos of deBono & have also met him . Great to know his views about a subject that he generally does not touch
Positive, Constructive and Creative Design Thinking...to put together whatever resource available and makes things workable and usable by the community and common people...👍 right thinking is the base and boost of all the best ways...
I'm a very lateral thinker and very creative. The problem is the institution of education isn't designed to help individuals learn but to create and perpetuate a class system. It is very rare to find an instructor who will answer your questions an help a variety of learning.
I'm an advocate for the countrywide incorporation of lateral thinking into the year four five six curriculum. The youth will be in charge of the planet one day obviously. They ought to make some headway whilst they're young. I'm big on saving time. Myself I collect deep thinkers who practice to be honest and see finer details. Together we're inclined to deal with circumstances as they arise. Pools of least barbaric decision makers, reduce degrees of separation & become more the culmination of one another of our various types. Especially since we'd all faced the covid pandemic. Critical thinkers, no matter how different & strange our ideas, have more in common than who all think what taught. We're few & far between, but more & more the culmination of one another decreasing degrees of separation, the better we're able to spot thinkers in the online crowd. Free writer lateral thinkers, saying things we like & the things we don't in discussion ..aren't who people who develop tech with money for money provisioned & developed writing equipment for. That tech is for who write for our money only what you like to hear, & this lowers the shock threshold for truth that hurts of the collective, & less people becoming ing writers thinking writing risky putting the ones saying what we do like & not at risk. You stand to die one day the way people do when they're not who people think need help. The more people need help (who really do) though, we'll tend to find ourselves further than anyone helping people seek. At work. Indoors writing. Caring for dependants. We make least barbaric decisions which have upsides. They are the stones that kill many birds. Now. You know that if we paused what everyone's doing, you'd see many of the decisions being made are to please & impress. Though money's meant to solve problems, many of the problems being solved.. are what people with money who are used to solving problems quickly & easily & the ones they say are problems with it, & you'd notice that together the world are creating a backlog of problems people not want to look at to have to solve. These are those who won't provide free writer lateral thinkers the hardcore writers tech we need, with the mountains of rules developed by their moneymen (who every man think are who to be like 'like the next man') that make up law. A citizen kept comfortable by government made up of folk who apper necessary given all the laws that look like solutions they govern us all with ..doesn't know they not agree with the basis for them. This makes it harder to let go should an alternative system come along. ..You not being provided the hardcore equipment you need to solve the backlog of problems people not want to look at to have to solve, reduces how panicky government are, which lessens how panicky the citizen is about government (with all its laws we tell ourselves with civilised by) ever crumbling. Remaining calm slows the rate we pick each other of, rich getting richer & poor getting poorer, enough that we not realise this is happening & get to 'enjoy our lives'. Everyone knows they turn their backs on greater issues, & no one ever wonders if those issues were addressed if they'd have less worries. They would. Breathing room, not to you with laws to look like unshiftable lawmakers be how to reduce worry. ..Wanting what or better than the next man globally, means we've only known so much of what we like & still think same things problems. This makes it even easier to solve the backlog of problems people not want to look at to have to solve. They're still the same too. In this way government, actually helped the lateral thinker take the fore. Then, so many laws, we're able to see the outlines of things not being said. We can write the world law of still very basic least barbaric decisions from scratch. ..I think it's time to discuss a law of little countries. Districts people call home, & design their own laws, which a citizen understands. We are the beginnings of new government. Collect, & together, deal with the backlog of problems people not want to look that been left for you (who people think must be the starving artist variety writer) & expose the mountain of laws people aren't aware of they'd not sought basis for, & the laws to improve those laws based on them, all of them with downsides for 'making laws sake'. If one of many pools of deep thinkers, the I recommend dealing with backlog to deal with government panic shifting from government to law of little countries, then it will be up to you to lessen how barbaric the laws are the people wish to live by, & provision equipment. These are early days. Collect the minds, & see what happens. In 20 years, I hope we're as civilised as though dragged two future generations back to meet us. How many generations are we behind now, liking same things & thinking same things problems so long? To solve problems you need to have made headway. It is I who starts to panic. Who is a philosopher who does not like practical philosophy? Ready to take the world? There's a new world on the way I'd say. Humans are said to have quite a slow break speed in emergency, so, let's get the people we need in charge of the new world in place. Apparently, smart children aren't as popular, because really when it comes down to it, if we had to choose, we choose our minds before to be popular Any day. There are too many more popular than natural in the world anyway. Popularity kind of just keeps them out of the way, liking same things & thinking same things problems without us. A thinker though, well why on earth would we want to blend in by our looking like everyone else? That would be mad. Here in Australia we began incorporating lateral thinking into the primary school curriculum in the 90s. We are in our 40s now. Average age for Nobel prize nominations. I don't want a Nobel prize. We're decision makers not stage stander award framers. All I write is free. Someone else can do that. We all know what risks happening to people that say things people both like & what they don't, don't we. To be absolutely frank, we making least barbaric decisions need to raise the collective shock threshold for truth that hurts, while at the same time not be who being shot for it. I wouldn't hide this from students. Please don't tell me this is sideshow alley lol. Collect the minds. Reducing degrees of separation between us, become more & more the culmination of one another, to make the headway enough where the ones looked to deal with circumstances as they arise. You know? Ruling is not to do with fame or fortune. No. It's simply about ruling. Reducing the validity of government, & ruling in its stead. If a lateral thinker, & you write for free, the things people like & the things they don't, then you know you don't have to want to take a government to take government, & you know the only take equipment you have is the internet & one another to do it with. Do it. Wishing for & then relying on power, fortune & popularity, just to say what keep folk comfortable in a panicked condition (whilst keeping the tech from lateral thinkers that should have been provisioned us) to be listened to, is not characteristic of a natural leader.✍️ Krystel, Stanthorpe. Fruit packer.
I also want to add that many students aren't interested in school or college but go there to get a degree to climb the status hierarchy. The problem is creativity, ingenuity should be valued and cherished otherwise we wouldn't have the advances and pioneers we've had throughout milenia.
I think he deserves a better title than "guru"! Gurus are empty power mongers who don't have any inherent value. Their power is in the persuasion and manipulation of others. You need "followers" to have a guru! This is not Edward De Bono! He is teaching valuable skills and real knowledge that the world despirately needs!
History does repeat for this very reason, everyone thinks they are creating a new way of thinking . Politicians everyone and they fall back in the trap and are surprised, but there is more often than not, no accoutability and responsibility . This will continue. People are still rich, poor, sick, well attagonised and placid, depending on their stature and thought.
His idea about refund for house prices is absolutely ridiculous - imagine a whole of house buyers asking for refunds from each other because the price fell - and who'd even be able to identify how much the prices had objectionably fallen by - he's mad.
@3:32 if you have children you should have an extra vote. This is really a very bad idea. And I'm not giving names to avoid a political debate, but some recent president of big countries (having children) have not given much prove of any concern of their children's future (other then financial/influential). And less fortunate people have even less interest in long term thinking, they have to nourish their children today. They do not have the means to do otherwise.
Mr. Presenter please try to elicit some real practical examples in lateral thinking. Only in the economics context should that be, so be it. But please don't put this great asset into the position of another Wallstreet forecaster by asking him for a another doze of prognostications. Friendly humble request.
Democracy is not lateral thinking.... Democracy is linear thinking........ The founding fathers of the United States were in fact thinking laterally The United States is a constitutional Republic.... And in that constitutional Republic the restraints is on the government not the people....
Dumbest ideas EVER! So, we should offer a reward for bad behavior and take back part of the reward when the party engages in that bad behavior. Ridiculous.
Hindol's questions,body language(so fake),enunciation made me obnoxious.Intro was so pathetic that I almost closed the browser window.It was Mr De Bono's presence that alleviated my irritation.
BS!!!. A former roommate of mine refuses to recycle. When I asked her when she wants to start as she should be considering the children she wants to have in the future, her reply was when she has children. That is selfish and short term thinking. I don't have children and don't plan on having any of my own and I still recycle use water wisely and don't use my car everywhere. Sorry Mr. De Bono your thinking has no merit and is unfounded! Just because someone does not have children does not make them less interested in the future or for their fellow man!
people like you without ability to abstract at multiple layers are exactly why we as a species are so stuck. if you don't see the clear lack of incentive for your roommate to recycle as systematic issue that requires constructive solution then you are really not better than her.

Very interesting conversation , especially related to politicians ( talkers are getting elected again and again ) ., De Bono has great poiint .

Loved the term PCCT... are we getting there??
how have i just heard of this guy now?
we need more 6:25 PCCT people in 2022
Who ever thought it was a good idea to put our thinking inside a box? Next step, from lateral to perpendicular?
Genius
nice tie

This is not Edward De Bono! He is teaching valuable skills and real knowledge that the world despirately needs!
thumps up for Edward, thumps down for the Hindol, he needs lessons in interviewing

the interviewer don't listen ...!
DOESN'T !

7:28 to 8:05
Ed ward debono !!!!!!!

The interviewer is so annoying and unprofessional
He doesn't come off to me as rude but maybe cultural differences affect how we perceive as polite and rude.
Presenter is like Indian version of Chris Rock.
LOL
