The Phenomenon of Creative Insight

What is creative insight? This is when we experience the sudden rushing in of something brilliant. A new way of looking at something, a lightbulb moment. We've all experienced this important phenomenon and it feels like lightning striking.

What do we know about the phenomenon of creative insight? What conditions and behaviours are needed? What cognitive systems are involved?

Why is creative insight important? This is how we solve problems, get clarity, innovate. There are so many big problems we are facing. It's more important than ever that human ingenuity stays strong.

Is our personal capacity for creative insight getting diminished in this era of AI? Part of the recipe involves a period of effortful struggle. As we enjoy automatic generation of everything we want by external systems, are we deconditioning from some of what elicits this in ourselves?

In this session, I will share my favorite techniques to enhance my own capacity for creative insight. I will also share a funny story of what I used to do as a child to try and elicit my own machine level power.

What do you do to set yourself up for these breakthroughs? To increase your odds of those amazing a-ha moments.

Let's share and enjoy some lively discussion!
