Have you tried ignoring the problem for a little while and then upregulating what Karl Fristron describes as "Free energy" so Freuds 'wish fullfilment' mechanisms embedded in dreams create epiphanies, approximating the Ancient Greek ritual of incubation? https://t.co/FHVdOsCMIX

Have you tried modeling the problem a decentralized hive-like organism and then set about trying to understand what kind of chemicals it secrets to communicate to itself with?

Have you tried uncovering how ritualized ad-lib practices in improv theatre are rooted in a long history of using chaotic words as a divination ritual, and using them to power what Daniel Dennett has described as "intuition pumps", so you can more likely solve the problem?

Have you tried imagining what the world would be like if the problem didn't exist, and then working to engineer that state into the world as a metaphor about manifesting your will?

Have you tried reading 'The Beehive Metaphor : From Gaudi to Le Corbusier' so that you might be able to better guess where Hofstadter picked up the notion of the beehive metaphor to trace that line of thinking back thru history? https://t.co/m6ejK6lUeA

if we want to improve the situation, we have to have a more accurate view of the phenomena and not this stupid myth of an idea that is little more than a long winded version of collective unconscious bullshit psychology Kuhn tried to ram into sociological explanations of science.
