If all the creative thinkers challenged the logical thinkers, who would win?

Question

OK, let's take God out of it...
Everyone thinks God is on their side.

Let's say the challenge involved something crazy and unfathomable, like constructing a wormhole or something like that

Answer 1

Albert Einstein said, "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."

I suppose that victory between the creative and the logical would depend upon what is being argued. However, I'm thankful for the sacred gift of intuition, for without it there would be no direction for the servants - the logical thinkers. Nothing would be created, solved, or intuitively approached without creative minds.

Creative thinkers are the masters of change. Logical thinkers are the servants of the creative ..... Einstein saw himself as a creative thinker - a philosopher - not as a logical thinker. He stretched his logical mind around the concepts of his creativity.

Therefore, if logical thinkers end up winning an argument, they only do so after creative minds have given them something to win.

In 1999, I was at a seminar where we took a personality profile (Myers-Briggs), I was ENTJ. We were the leadership and the spouses for a large company. We were a relatively homogeneous group in terms of culture and education. At the start of the seminar, of the 100 people there, the seminar leader (Dr. Bill Jefferies, he also consulted with Presidents Reagan’s staff) chose 10 people, split them into 2 groups, and separated them across the room. He then asked both groups to define the word “Time”, which should have been simple and obvious. Of the 10-15 definitions each group independently gave, not one word was the same on either list.

It was an astonishing demonstration of how a person’s personality influences them. When people hears a word like time, they perceive it dramatically different than may be expected, based on their personality. One group’s answers were words like: seconds, hours, months, very specific definitions. The other group’s answers were words like: measure, progression, space-time, relative, Einstein, infinity, very conceptual answers. One group tried to state what time is. The other group tried to define time.

I call this the "One Coin" issue, when people look at the coin called time, and then stare at the heads side and try to define what they see as the definition of the coin, or stare at the tails side and do the same. A coin is both sides, and time consists of both sets of definitions.

Your question is the same. Logical thinkers are good about clarifying and proving existing knowledge. Creative thinkers are good about defining new knowledge, but sometimes it is incomplete or invalid due to their intuitive assumptions. Therefore, both are needed for humanity to make progress on knowledge (new, general and specific). Also, either would win in their own area of expertise, in general. The caveat is that logical thinkers may have difficulty in the creative arena, while creative thinkers can think very logically if need be.

So, if you would tell me what issue the challenge was about, I could tell you who would likely win.

Answer 3

Neither of them could win because without each-other the worm hole couldn't be built. For instance an architect (the creative thinker) can think up a design, but without the engineer(the logical thinker) knowing what can not and what can be feasibly done, that art can never be brought to life. That's what is great about life, there is always some sort of balance even if the yang is maybe destroying or creating something because of the yin.

Answer 4

Logical thinkers. The creative ones would be taking to much time to dream up a project that could work and the logical would go with the best plan

Answer 5

Creative thinkers will win as they can work around and solve the problem faster. Logical thinkers are the ones who set standards based on proven theories.

Answer 6

I say the two, looking on what you're doing. to commence off with, in person-friendly, you do no longer prefer to be ANY sort of logician, ROFL! Do, do no longer think of. yet after that, it relies upon. An Infantryman could be logical so as to no longer panic, and to make judgements that are sensible and not in accordance with emotion. He additionally must be resourceful, because of the fact as some super chief as quickly as mentioned, all plans turn to crap as quickly as you have interaction the enemy. The Infantryman could have the means to evolve to the placement. i assume this is going for many jobs interior the militia, extremely, and for terribly virtually each and every subject interior the civilian international as properly. you are able to comprehend that there are various "resourceful" sort jobs interior the militia as properly. case in point, you are able to artwork in Multimedia interior the army, which demands resourceful thinking. and a few jobs might lend themselves greater in direction of good judgment, which contain an IT expert. In a nutshell, i might say that the suited militia soldier would be a properly-rounded logician.

Answer 7

please forgive, i can only think of star trek analogy... captain janeway, a resourceful leader and creative thinker; and there's commander chakotay, logical thinker.

.. there's the time Voyager finally entered borg space. janeway proposed a creative but risky plan of joining forces with the borg to fight species 8472, in return for safe passage across borg space. chakotay's response was the borg can't be trusted, and mentions parable of the scorpion, who stung the fox halfway through the river.

logic ppl share dependable knowledge and help us understand limitations, while creative ppl go beyond those barriers and seek innovative ways of doing things. one complements the other - stalemate... but i'd give a slight edge to the latter for thinking outside the box.

Btw... janeway & chakotay put their thoughts together to come up with plan "Scorpion".. which severed seven of nine's link to the borg collective when she tried to sting Voyager. now she's a valuable member of the crew, a logical as well as creative thinker, which = THinK TaNk!

Answer 8

probably the logical thinkers because sometimes it's easiest to argue against what you believe in this case think, letting the creative ones walk in circles under the logics finger

Answer 9

I would hope the two would be able to get together and design an aesthetically beautiful vehicle with excellent performance and gas mileage. I think this would be an excellent challenge where everyone would win.

Answer 10

It would boil down to who would be the best debaters
