Insight comes at the intersection of ideas

New ideas are formed by combining and linking together existing ideas. These intersections and connections open not only develop your conceptual landscape (Conceptual space is like a landscape), but it can bring you to explore new areas of thought.

To apply: Brainstorm through analogy not components

Brainstorm through analogy not components

Instead, Insight comes at the intersection of ideas. Do not shatter the bowl but look at it in different contexts and settings to understand its beauty. Place the idea of a "city" in the context of "education," how does a city help us to learn? Or in the context of a "book," how do you read a city? Through these questions you can not only be more specific in your search but also spark new questions and curiosity.
