7 Mind, Thinking & Creativity April 11-16, 2016, Inter-University Centre, Dubrovnik, Croatia Mind vs. AI ? “An algorithm cannot generate creativity. In fact the reverse is true - creativity is what produces algorithms.” - William Byers, Deep Thinking

8 Mind, Thinking & Creativity April 11-16, 2016, Inter-University Centre, Dubrovnik, Croatia Thinking about Complexity How can linear faculties of thinking and verbal expression capture the multi-dimensional complexity and intricate integration of living systems and conscious human communities?

10 Mind, Thinking & Creativity April 11-16, 2016, Inter-University Centre, Dubrovnik, Croatia Deep Thinking Thomas Kuhn emphasized the discontinuous nature of scientific progress—paradigm change.

11 Mind, Thinking & Creativity April 11-16, 2016, Inter-University Centre, Dubrovnik, Croatia The Secret of Scientific Discovery Testimony of great scientists confirms that the greatest discoveries of science are the result of intuitive rather than rational mental processes. Why is science education preoccupied with teaching the scientific methodology for validating discoveries, rather than the actual process of discovery itself?

12 Mind, Thinking & Creativity April 11-16, 2016, Inter-University Centre, Dubrovnik, Croatia Can Intuition be learned? The supreme task of the physicist is to arrive at those universal elementary laws from which the cosmos can be built up by pure deduction. There is no logical path to these laws; only intuition. – Albert Einstein It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover. - Henri Poincaré Every discovery contains an 'irrational element,' or 'a creative Intuition. - Karl Popper All human knowledge begins with intuitions, proceeds from thence to concepts, and ends with ideas. - Immanuel Kant
