Metaphorical thinking

February 13, 2017 mentallymental Comments 0 Comment

Abstract thinking / analogical reasoning / metaphorical thinking / mathematical thinking / symbolic thinking – This makes you intelligent and witty! Comedians probably develop this early in life, heading in the direction of street smartness rather than technical. Scientists, researchers and inventors do the same but on a very technical level, drawing analogies between mathematical models and real-world systems. Artists do the same which is why they see deep meaning in abstract arts. Movie directors do this so as to depict something with great impact.

Everything in our understanding of the world is probably analogical, for example, an atom may not be really an atom. An atom according to our understanding may be representative of something different but behaves in the same way.

Good movies to exercise this: Mr. Nobody, The Fountain.

Everything is an organization

A living cell is an organization of various organelles, DNA, chromosomes etc. An atom is an organization of sub-atomic particles. An organism is an organization of various organs. An organ is an organization of various tissues, cells etc. Similarly, a human being is an organization of various organs. The solar system is an organization of some planets, asteroids, sun, moons. The earth itself is an organization of various elements in it.

So, perhaps everything is an organization of many other things in it, in the mathematical model of the universe. These organizations coexist, and may affect others.

The human race is an organization which affects the earth. In this organization, political leaders serve the role of defining how to organize the humans thus making the organization more efficient.
