Meta Patterns & Genius: A Simple Game to Boost a Child's Intelligence
Introduction
In my lifelong exploration of human excellence, genius, and creativity, I've uncovered a unique thinking pattern that profoundly impacts:
- Understanding the world,
- Problem-solving,
- Innovation and creativity,
- Inner harmony.
This thinking pattern is not innate; it is learned. It differentiates great thinkers from the rest.
The Meta Filter
This critical filter determines whether a person processes information by focusing on differences or similarities. Interestingly, many children’s games emphasize “difference” ?" such as spotting differences or identifying the mismatched item in a series. These educational methods encourage a focus on detail and differentiation.
While breaking down the world into smaller parts is useful, an overemphasis on details can lead to losing the ability to see the “big picture.” In neuro-linguistic terms, moving from a broad view to minute details is called “chunking down.” This process might start with observing a car and, step by step, end with examining a single screw, losing sight of the whole.
There’s nothing wrong with detailing; however, when everyone adopts this mindset, few are left to view the overall picture ?" a role often filled by visionary leaders.
The Importance of Big Picture Thinking
Leaders, such as generals, monarchs, and industry pioneers, must see the bigger picture. They need to understand how different elements interact to reveal the broader situation. Yet, educational systems worldwide tend to focus on detail-oriented thinking, often at the expense of cultivating leaders.
Prompting children to think big picture can be as simple as flipping the narrative. Instead of endless games of “What’s the difference?” we should also ask, “What’s the same?”
Encouraging Holistic Thinking
By exploring what’s similar, we start revealing meta patterns and naturally shift towards understanding larger concepts. This method offers profound insights.
For example:
- Asking, “What’s the same about a black boy and a white boy?” yields, “They’re both boys.”
- Asking, “What’s the same about a boy and a girl?” reveals, “They’re both human beings.”
Everyone should be able to transition between details and the big picture and vice versa. Encouraging this flexibility from a young age is crucial. A simple question like, “What’s the same about your teddy and your doll?” can foster this broader perspective.
Reconnecting to Creativity
Adults can rediscover their creativity and ability to identify life’s meta patterns in the same way. Questions such as:
- “What’s the same about the last five movies you watched?”
- “What’s the same about successful advertising campaigns?”
- “What’s the same about me and others?”
This questioning leads to a natural, structural reconnection, enhancing one's understanding and perception.
Conclusion
Believing in the power of perceiving meta patterns is key. If individuals and societies grasp these patterns, the details will naturally align. While details can be devilishly complex, finding salvation lies in focusing on the bigger picture.
