Good creators need perceptual thinking. Anne Lamott once said: "Stop the murmur of rational thinking, leave room for intuition, and your intuition will come back. Rational thinking does not make you powerful, but because contemporary culture respects rationality, you think it can Tell you the truth, but this is not the truth. Reason squeezed out a lot of rich, vivid and charming things."

Intuition is more important in terms of creativity. When evaluating ideas, data doesn't do much. Data does not bring the certainty we desire. For example, a large amount of data shows that Hillary Clinton has a 70% to 99% chance of winning the 2016 U.S. presidential election. But the final result is well-known, she did not succeed in being elected. Rational analysis is not conducive to our divergent thinking and will confine us to the real level. Therefore, imagination is more important when you want to create explosive models.

Imagination can help our thinking diverge, allowing us to connect everything with each other. For example, more and more people are immersed in their mobile phones, so the city of Sydney has begun to try to embed traffic lights on the ground to reduce the probability of accidents.

Therefore, creativity needs to release the imprisonment of thought and let imagination run wild. The physicist Sylvester James Gates pointed out: "Imagination is a tool for us to increase knowledge. If you don't have imagination, you can't get more knowledge."
