  • Interesting discussion about not relying on logical thinking in programming

    • Humans can think much faster using intuitive thinking rather than logical thinking
    • For example, let’s consider tasks that do not require logical thinking. Activities like listening to music and thinking “this is good” or watching a movie and being moved by it are more intuitive tasks rather than logical thinking. If we always think logically while listening to music, like analyzing the frequency and pattern of the sound every ●● milliseconds, we won’t be able to truly enjoy the music. It is more intuitive to perceive it as “I can’t accurately express it in words, but this music is good.”

    • When it comes to tasks that involve reading or writing computer programs, which are based on logical descriptions, logical thinking is almost unnecessary, just like when listening to music.

  • It’s understandable to think about architecture intuitively

  • But writing programs intuitively seems impossible, right?

    • A genius’s feat
  • Immersion Education also adopts this approach

  • It seems that art preparatory schools receive similar criticism

    • Art is taught logically, but there is criticism that it leads to a loss of intuition#art
    • Since there is value in the situation itself where intuition is important, it might be slightly different
  • It seems to also be related to the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness


#the Technique of Intellectual Production

  • The author claims that they were successful in doing things like mathematics using intuitive thinking
  • However, in the Discovery Notebook, they emphasize the importance of using logical thinking to construct sentences
    • By doing so, they become more attentive to many problems that they were not aware of unconsciously
    • Is this some kind of training?
    • Although it reduces the enjoyment of thinking in that way, the author argues that this approach is better
