This week on @ness_labs Collector to Creator Course, @anthilemoon shared on ways we can connect our ideas

Here are my notes on how to connect our ideas 👇

If we want to connect our ideas, we need to implement networked thinking.

Before we go there, let's talk about other ways of thinking

📏Linear thinking
It's the process of following a step by step progression where a response is received before another step is taken

Examples of linear thinking;
If A, then B, then C

Linear thinking is thinking of processes in a straight linear fashion.

It's fast and effective when you know all the data and processes, but it leads to linear bias and first-order thinking

🥈 Second-order thinking
It's the process of following and expanding on the implications of first-order impacts.

For example; A may result in B and C

It's better than first-order thinking by exploring more options, but it rarely leads to novel connections between ideas

A major consequence of second-order thinking is The Cobra Effect, where the methods used to solve a problem ends up rewarding others to make the problem worse.

The Cobra Effect happened in India under British Rule and in Hanoi under French rule.
