Genius

The aim of this game is to test the ability to listen to the subconscious and find a solution that the conscious brain cannot evaluate.

The unconscious mind – way to genius

Archimedes, Michalangelo, Eistein, Mozart, Nicola Tesla… and thousands of others who influenced human history with their abilities. Was the brain of these personalities anything special, different from the ""normal"" human brain? Maybe not, maybe the only difference was in the ability to listen to impulses from his subconscious.

Imagine that all the information coming into the human conscious brain passes through the unconscious part of the brain, which records all this information. The conscious brain processes this information, stores it in memory, seeks new ideas. The performance of the conscious brain is limited, information forgets over time, the ability to infer new knowledge is limited.

While the unconscious brain remembers information much better and is able to find new paths and derive new solutions that the conscious brain does not find.

So what is genius? The ability to listen to signals from the unconscious brain. Unconscious brain is many steps ahead of the conscious brain. This would mean that anyone can have genius ideas, but only genius people have been able to translate them into the conscious brain and realize them. How can this ability be acquired? It must be innate and supported by ongoing training in specific area.

Maybe this is just an unproven theory and has nothing to do with the actual functioning of the brain. And yet there is one essential part needed for successful creative work - the ability to stop, get a little distance from the problem and ""listen to the subconscious"":

Isn't there another better way to the goal?

Aren't we still blindly looking in one direction?

Are we not too sure of our procedure and overlook some important detail?

​So to create the right creative practices, let's admit that there is a ""brilliant"" subconscious and learn to ""listen"" to revise our thinking and look for new ways.
