RE: Do schools kill creativity?

in #creativity7 years ago (edited)

Thank you for the kind words! Some of you may appreciate this post as well:

Critical thinking that leads a person to question his immediate surroundings takes place in less than 10% of the population. It has long been recognized that education today seems more about indoctrination.

Human Nature endures. We travel through time and technology progresses with our knowledge. However, emotionally we remain very much the same. Society MUST move through these crash and burn periods. It is how we progress through history. The majority will NOT believe until they reach the precipice. Only then will change ever come.

Therefore, the one person out of 10 who sees, is all you need. They are the few who are truly the movers and shakers throughout history. They may be the ones others laughed at or ignored and may have even been the unpopular kid in school who just did not fit into the crowd. They are the dreamers who see the future when the time comes and make dreams come true.

Great article above, and excellent excerpt, I'll definitely check out that post. I've found... those ten percent, you can spot them. They are the ones that walk across the grass instead of following the sidewalk. Especially the ones who don't even notice they're doing it, they're not trying to break rules they simply follow their own path.

Now is the time for the dreamers, the creators, the inventors and the ones that see :)

thanks for the comment; your phrase is almost poetic!

I'd defer back to the old Apple Computer meme "The Crazy Ones", but ironically that seemed to attract more of the 90% who believed they were part of the 10%.

But maybe it does make sense. The 10% like to make things hard for themselves (a byproduct of critical thinking?), and Apple was always about "mindless, easy, and, it just works (and it looks pretty too)!" lol

As for 10%'ers on steemit, perhaps they don't necessarily see steemit for what it is right now (warts and all), but for what it could one day become.
