Being critical during brainstorming can be death, but being critical of the results to find the best one can be good. Socializing with like minded people, too much, has been one that recently I've been thinking can often be detrimental to creativity, you need a little friction to create a spark. And taking time off can sometimes be the best way to go if your stuck; take a step back to see the forest rather that banging you head against the hardest tree.

Interesting and somewhat related to your post here - the Diversions section of The Globe Weekend edition - Question 10 - what would NOT help you to reach a creative breakthrough? a)Going for walks and daydreaming; b)being critical of brainstorming results; c) socializing with like-minded people; d)taking some time off.<br /><br />What do you think?Janet Jarrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13688769363310247973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524713885310204209.post-14015466872225247612012-03-28T13:35:57.593-04:002012-03-28T13:35:57.593-04:00Thanks for the comment.

I used the term new atheist as not to paint all atheists with the same brush and get sucked into that same negative stereotyping. <br />I agree with everything you said.<br />I used to be a major critic of the Christian right, and a strictly literal interpretation of the bible, as were most Christians, the world over; then the new atheist movement lumped us all together. It does my head in. When certain scientists talk about theology they sound, to me, every bit as intelligent as when religious leaders talk on matters of science. <br />They’re two different fields of study. <br />It’s like what Matrin Luther King Jr. said, “Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary. Science keeps religion from sinking into the valley of crippling irrationalism and paralyzing obscurantism. Religion prevents science from falling into the marsh of obsolete materialism and moral nihilism.” <br />Atheist or believer, we'll find out all too soon what happens after we die, it'd be nice if we could put differences aside and focus on helping everyone make the most out of their life, without trying to control anyone but ourselves. <br />Who knows, if we’re allow to share our stories without fear of verbal or physical attack, we might actually get to learn about and care for one another as individuals.Colin Frizzellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775415952952025913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524713885310204209.post-49033304707122971862012-03-27T09:03:24.654-04:002012-03-27T09:03:24.654-04:00You did an excellent job describing how a prejudic...You did an excellent job describing how a prejudiced person responds when being challenged by someone who is the object of their prejudice.<br /><br />I'm an atheist, and I completely agree with you. I've grown fed up, too. On the internet (and sometimes in person), when I challenge other atheists on their prejudice and stereotypes, I am often ridiculed, dismissed, and ignored. I've learned a bit of empathy for progressive religious people who challenge the bigotry of fundamentalist religious people and are marginalized and ignored.<br /><br />There are those of us who are challenging new atheists on their prejudices and ill will, but our voices are being drowned out. In my country (the US), it seems that the very real political power of intolerant, conservative Christians has lead to an increasing wave of intolerance from new atheists. The fear, hatred, and prejudice of one group is causing reflexive fear, hatred and prejudice in the other. There is an odd kind of symmetry taking place.<br /><br />I am saddened that the loudest, most polarizing voices so easily generate loyalty and devotion. It doesn't matter whether you are talking about religion, politics, or brands of tea. Fear, aggression, and insularity are quite effective at forming groups with strong boundaries and high degrees of loyalty. It's a human thing, rather than a religious thing.<br /><br />-timberwraithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524713885310204209.post-80674151924349624412012-02-25T15:48:42.530-05:002012-02-25T15:48:42.530-05:00what a cracking blog
