[Get Real!]

one must acquire knowledge to understand,

The acquisition of knowledge IS understanding; think about it.

understand in order to apply,

I can teach a monkey to apply a lot of things but that doesn’t necessarily mean he understands what he is doing.

Cheap sophistries… the world is full of them.

If you know you are logical if you don't know you are not

Does that include those who THINK they know but don't, because the world is full of them...

The (thinking) World is not made up of only two types of people (that really would be dull).

That's why so many believe in star signs...that's a grand total of 12 types so beat that!

. . . and each one of those is subject to variations, depending on the position of the planets, like if Uranus is rising or descending

This forum is a bit of light relief for me (apart from when GR slags me off) so I really don't feel like having to force the linear side of me out here!

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't that mean "Says bad things about me" ?

Yes.

This forum is a great example of the difference between linear and lateral thinkers.

"The differentiation between linear and lateral thinking can be best described with examples. The linear thinker moves one mental step at a time down the path of logic, consuming and digesting each piece of information before moving to the next.

The lateral thinker (also known as branching logic) pursues multiple paths of information gathering and processing simultaneously, bringing all relevant parts together at the end.

Linear thinkers tend to be left brain dominant while lateral thinkers tend to be right brain dominant. Our educational systems have traditionally
valued and encouraged left brain development and linear thinking patterns while dismissing right brain development and lateral thinking patterns.

Conversely, we tend to think of linear processors as "slow" because they
often take more time to reflect before speaking and work through an issue fully before acting. Lateral processors are often "quick" and respond much sooner to a stimulus than their linear counterparts. They
often make more mistakes and are generally risk takers."

I am a lateral thinker. I know this as my working life has been involved in the creative industry where lateral or creative thinking is essential and it's something you look for in designers. I look for inspiration for ideas from anywhere and 'throw' these ideas down. Reason and logic comes later.

Accountants tend to think in a linear way, numbers have to add up! (unless you are 'creatively' fixing the figures!). Scientists also are linear thinkers reasoning out facts and results in an ordered way although scientists who find cures must have to also think laterally.

Some members 'throw' their thoughts down while others reason thoughts out in a logical and ordered post. Both are good, just different!

Right handed, but left footer. Does that count?

That just means you're weird.
