Lecture by Professor Ronald Jones

Tonight’s lecture was held by a really cool looking professor named Ronald Jones. He talked about micro trends in education and design, and the results of mono-, multi, inter- and trans disciplinary work. It seems a bit unnecessary to repeat everything he said, but if I would emphasize just one thing, it was some things he said about creativity and the birth of ideas. I’ve always wondered how you can explain the process of how you come up with ideas. To me, it seems that it is something that just appears out of nothing. In a second, you just have a business idea or such and can’t explain why. It is almost something like god given.

Professor Jones told us about how the left and right brain halves function. There seems to be a change of strategy in the brain, when one unconsciously is about to give up, to broaden the search, and when this happen, you come up with the idea that actually works. If it’s true, it says something about how brilliant the human body and mind is. To brilliant to fully grasp, even.
