Problem Solving
Reflection / Writing / Philosophy
Problem solving is like alchemy. Alchemy would be something about understanding properties of individual components, follow a manifested or desired blueprint of creation and combining and composing a whole out of components which you carefully pick by examining components is alchemy. Could that be used for problem solving? Basically its all about breaking stuff down to their individual components and comparing some combinations and their combined mutated properties to match against a bench mark or gold standard and have an evaluator to find how far you are from the objective and optimize.
Lets think then about how we can study and try to understand ways to do it better. Why? Simply because you would want to be subconsciously always be best prepared to know and understand problems by intuition so that buys you time enough to be careful and spend some investigation on new posibilities. Using type1 and type2 thinking for solving a particular problem. I can speak from experience having suffered with my type1 being hypersensitive to choke away my type2 to perform many times.
Problem solving is much more than what you think it is when you come across it. Problem solving could be survival, solve the right problem and get out of a deserted island alive, take control of an airplane when the pilot dozes off. While these examples seem extreme, problem solving empirically would still indeed be finding the best path to get out of that situation. But then isn’t it weird that there will still be some parameters sometimes that are always going to be beyond your control?
