Week 5

Thank you Dr. Foreman for showing me how to use Flckr - I will hopefully get my pictures up in the next few days. I think that assuming that R-directed thinking "will rule" the future is a bit extreme. Though I do agree with Pink that we need to shift our thinking some, we can't afford to let go of L-directed thinkers. The L-directed thinking often forms the groundwork for a person to be able to proceed into the R-directed arena of thinking and doing.

I like the ideas he has about looking at the world differently and doing things that enhance a less reductionist type of thinking. I don't know if it is safe to assume that directing our thinking differently will automatically lead to more and/or continued prosperity for our nation. There are a lot of other things, like social, educational, and other kinds of equity that we need to look at too to make us more creative, productive and successful!
