How does a person create a solution to a problem, no matter
how big of a problem?
I can answer this question in three words; The Socratic Method
If you look at the history or Athens, Sparta, and Socrates, you can find the answers to many of the world’s problems right in this small corner of history... Remember, I said “many”, not “all”. Like I’ve stated before, Humans need to get used to updating society much like we update our computers; fast. Society and culture are things we cling on to like a baby refusing to give up its favorite blanket or toy. That’s all very nice, but we have serious work that needs to be done and we can’t keep doing things "just because that's how they have been done in the past". Its time for Humans to grow up and leave things behind that we use for no other reason than ‘we are attached to them’, create new solutions, find ways of testing these solutions (or even in the case of creating whole societies), and than implementing them, and doing it all very very fast.
The way the Socratic Method works is to simply question everything we do, and question it from every angle, to prove if something is right, or if it is wrong. This creates people that think for themselves, or "free thinks". If you’re not questioning everything then you’re just doing and thinking as others have told you to do and think; you’re not "thinking" for yourself at all. And "free thinking" or thinking for yourself; deciding what you believe is right and wrong for yourself, is the first and best way to expand your own consciousness.
That’s the short answer, so Google ‘The Socratic Method’ and read up on it, as well as the works of Terrence McKenna; and the subject of expanding your consciousness.
Humans are questioning machines, from birth to death we question everything and try to analyze and figure everything out.
