- How do Dodds & Smith define fixation?
Fixation is, more or less, a road block for the mind. Taking something as given without letting newer perspectives have some say. Basically, you are not letting something show its full potential.
- When and why does Gerber recommend throwing away previously generated ideas?
Gerber recommends throwing away ideas because they – and i think Dodds and Smith would agree – are going to get in the way of better ideas! Like a monk tries to clear their mind, if one can clear their mind of old ideas, truly revolutionary things will materialize.
Johnson's thoughts on combing ideas is seen everywhere in the world today! Lets smash social life and the internet together: Facebook. Lets smash cameras and mobile phones together: Camera phone! Camera phone and internet: Smart phone and Facebook: REVOLUTIONARY! c:
So there is no doubt in my mind that Johnson's thesis is correct. IN FACT, I think I would go so far to say that if somebody smashed Dodds, Smith, Gerber, and Johnson all together, they would have one of the most enlightened creative people know to man!
The ideas our group has revolved around involve songs, which are in fact a blend between poetry and music. We blend that with psychology in an experiment on the mind's ability to "synesthetize" or show signs of synesthesia.
Our second idea would involve turning everyday recyclables into instruments. And putting on a concert where the performers play only these "recyclable" instruments.
Now, I don't think throwing these idea away will do anybody any good. I do know that there is room for improvement however, especially for the latter idea. But we should refine our ideas by blend idea's together, or pull ideas out of what we have already.
