Thinking Tool #8: Dense reading and dense listening

This is where you are encouraged to listen or read more intently and analyze why it was expressed that way using "could be" and "may be" possible elaborations.

Thinking Tool #7: C & S

Hi Janette. I just joined this group. When you initally startet the site I assume you had in mind that you wanted to investigate the thinking process and to develop the ability to think creatively.

We now have 5 members, but it seems that "we" are sleeping members? To get things startet I believe we need a topic and through that topic develop some discussion rules. Having a topic we could email the other members and ask them to join in the discussion.

Among many topics to get us startet we could discuss

1) Whats wrong with "diktatorism" - the governance form of ruling a society through dikatoship
2) Whats wrong with democracy
3) Solutions to crime
4) How to create positive integration of different cultures into one society

We just need to pick one to get us started. And then we could invite other members.

Lets adhere to the rules and concepts of Edward de Bono during discussions, meaning we discuss not to be right, but to amuse ourselves and to exchange ideas and to become wiser.

Best regards

Jan
