Steps
- Dreamcatch. These can be positive or negative. The negative ones can be very fruitful, as they are an opportunity to problemsolve
- Ah, so you got disturbed by a thought. Good. Catch it.
- Sublimate a solution - meaning a first priciples, longtermist, iconoclastic, unleashed solution. Simply start by stating what obvious things (regardless of whether these things are possible) would be required for an inevitable (obvious) solution. Start with that, and start to flesh out the details, no matter how stupid this seems. For example, to end poverty, you can kill all the poor people. Well, in detail, that is cruel. Try again. To end poverty, we can obviously create abundant wealth for everyone. Then start at first principles, such as Kardashev scale (basic limits of energy and resources). This must be met with numeracy, specifically Physical Numeracy.
- Commit.
The above is difficult. Because to commit means that you have to learn in order to acquire meta problemsolving (abstract) skills (see Sublimation). It means you must be willing to learn, be healthy so you can commit energy to this, and have a long term perspective.
