Problem solving

Question from the Internet:

“What are the building blocks for solving problems?”

First of all, we need to understand the problem, see the cause and effect relationship.

Only when we identified the root cause, the right diagnosis can we start treating, solving the problem. This is where we usually fail as we remain on the superficial consequence, symptom level and apply useless, symptomatic solutions

Moreover, in order to solve a problem, we would need to rise to a higher, more developed degree than the degree we caused the problem from as Einstein explained. And Einstein also remarked that it is insane to keep repeating the same, failed solutions again and again expecting that they bring a different, positive result.

From this, we can easily see why Humanity is seemingly inevitably sleepwalking towards a global disaster, self-destruction.

We refuse to dig deeper to find the root cause of Humanity’s recurring, vicious historic cycles and our stumbling from crisis to crisis, and we stubbornly repeat the same futile actions, “solutions” despite causing an only deeper crisis, problems with them. And we can’t rise to a higher, more developed degree in order to clearly see the problems systematically.

We need to swallow the bitter pill and understand that the root cause of all the problems ailing us is our own, inherently self-serving, self-justifying, egocentric, and exploitative nature. We need to rise above the original egotistic, subjective viewpoints, and develop a unique, collective intelligence, mutual problem-solving ability. With that, by that, we will reach an unprecedented similarity of form with nature’s system and its laws and thus we will find all the solutions, blueprints we will ever need.

And the “vehicle”, tool for this is the right, purposeful and practical educational method.
