    What I got from this video: Much of our best thinking is in the realm of prototyping, so if you want to solve a "wicked" problem (one that has unclear criteria for success and is not reusable because the conditions are so specific) it's best to basically try things that are analogous to the problem, which allows you to create better prototypes until you have a solution.
    This is called design thinking, and it's useful because most of our personal human problems are wicked problems (ex: how can I be happier? or should I marry this person?) and you can't solve them easily with logical thinking.

    types of thinking/problems:
    1. engineering - clear, repeatable solns
    2. business - optimization
    3. analytic - used in research; premise, slice, questioning process
    4. wicked - criteria for success unclear & constantly changing; will know what's right answer only when you find it, & answer won't be reusable; human problems, messy problems; find soln via iterations, trial & error till you get an idea
    types of prototypes:
    1. engineering - starts with conclusion, solution-oriented
    2. design - starts with curiosity, user-oriented
    Prototypes in design similar to minimum viable product

      @itsdavidmora 5 років тому +6

      Great summary!
      One slight caveat I'd add regarding the idea that "Prototypes in design similar to minimum viable product":
      Prototypes are questions (not demos): they’re focused on a single point of inquiry, should be incomplete, and create an experience
      The prototype creed is effectively:
      1. Find the quickest path to experience
      2. Doing is the best kind of thinking
      While building a minimum viable product *may* involve doing and let you answer the question "What might it be like to use this product?", it'd be neither quick nor focused on a single point of inquiry.
      I'd say a prototype in design is closer to "answering a pressing question by creating minimum viable experiences." I'm not sure there's a well-known correlate for that, which why design thinking makes a significant contribution. :)

    This is what I was thinking about a few days ago.
    I don't have a single passion that I want to pursue but a few interests. I keep telling myself to try everything and see if something makes me want to do it more often or if I can see myself doing it for a long time. I always thought this kind of experimentation will lead me nowhere, instead it might confuse me even more. But after watching this video I think I might go ahead with experimenting.

      @amir @kaiwo I've learnt that only if you put in effort to do something, if you want to do something, you'll be resilient and will go ahead in the path. I tried a few things, like sketching, programming, poetry, psychology along with my career interest that is supply chain. Psychology I liked as a side gig, very meaningful to me. Will be doing it on the side, learning and engaging more in this as a side interest. Other interests withered away as I didn't put effort or I simply found them boring. My career interest, I got an opportunity and instead of resisting the job(it's tough, long hours) I'm making my close people cheer for me. This way I'm building a support system who's always there for me.

    A good advise. Although in practice the realisation of a dream often wants concentration of effort and money. (Like Clausewitz teaches about succes in warfare: choose the enemy’s weak spot well, and throw all you got at it.)So there often will not be a budget for trial and error.

And for a product he took a lot in the design stage to get it right then in engineering even more because they have to make it at scale and safety and all that. Thanks Bigthink good work

      Maybe it tells you that making decisions should be like building a prototype. Don't expect you're gonna live it for the rest of your life, or make the same decision for the same problem again. Because your decisions are like products. You'll never make a perfect product that can solve every human problem, that's why you can only keep trying to make a better one. Keep trying things, be it jobs, business, anything. That's how I comprehend it.

    So, test life, observe results, fine tune toward a goal, and test again, rinse and repeat, pile knowledge, recursive reflection, detect patterns, deduce laws and mechanics, properties and tendencies, find a sens of the nature, and rediscover it anew
    but they are bits of reality, they are never exactly the whole picture, a prototype is just that, a prototype, it can get close, but it will never be the actual experience, what I mean is you don't get guarantees from prototypes, there are no guarantees, except perhaps the laws of physics, which we don't entirely understand anyways
    so hone, but don't ever expect guarantees, you could in fact be missing on something else right in front of your eyes ;)

    The first mouse I had, had two wheels with no ball in the under side. I don't like those over-hyped kind of made-up/"brandized" definitions of common concepts as something new and revolutionary. It makes it seem like everyone before the 70s or so were robots who always started with conclusions in mind, never innovated. Perhaps all inventions (of engineering) before then were given by aliens. I like the stress on not starting with the conclusion in mind and just trying to prove it, though. But "exploration of possibilities" and "invention" are more clear phrasings for that than design thinking. Design is just a synonym for "project" (actually, of "drawing"), does not necessarily entail a freer exploration of possibilities or invention.

    This sounds like that they invented the mouse at Apple. This is not the case. The direct predecessor was Xerox, and many others before that, check out wikipedia about computer mouse.

    Design thinking is Elons secret recipe. Wonder if he picked that up from his time at Stanford

      "A wicked problem is a problem that is difficult or impossible to solve because of incomplete, contradictory, and changing requirements that are often difficult to recognize" If you can solve wicked problems, you should go for it. Lol.

      I'm an urban planner I know the definition, however to fix any system you need to have the means of playing the game. what are moves with no pieces? thoughts

      which is also why we have this problems In the first place, resource silos and inequal access.

    For the mouse example, seems to me like the only difference between these types of thinking is frame of reference. You could easily say the conclusion is a "comfortable, intuitive to use mouse" and that would automatically make it an engineering problem ?

    i really like this channel but i think a lot of speakers are salesmen for bs. all i got from this is designers come up with non positive ideas( bs) and engineers make things that work. putting a spin on the obvious doesnt change the fact that the engineers contribution is the significant part of the job.
