Hi Lloyd, 

I really enjoyed your response (although I must admit that I had to read it a few times! hah).  

"The deeper and more intuitive rooted the need for a "product" the more the need is recognized as a creative impulse. This is when brilliant solutions are more as intuitively satisfying ideas than they are as products."

...

Your statement right there sums it up very nicely. As can be seen by the recent BraunPrize 2012 ceremony, we enjoy the redesign of products previously thought to forever exist unchallenged in form and flaws. From the Dyson to the Segway, if the product allows users to be one with it so to speak..that product clearly becomes a winner. For marketers, intuitive redesign makes a better story to sell and promote. 

Once again, I appreciate your opinions and I hope this discussion offers a secondary perspective for our community of Rhino users. Thanks!

The Big Picture….yes….Big Picture physicist David Bohm (and most others) would probably have agreed with you that whole-istic thinking  is the root of creativity and the end of tyrannical scientific materialism.   Others describe this kind of thinking/being as a kind of quantum entanglement of the material with the unlimited potential of underlying quantum reality.  This goes against A. Einstein's most cherished beliefs but even so it is still worth quoting Einstein one more time:  "You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it."   Einstein liked to say that God does not play dice but it is clear enough now that this dice game has it's own rules and they are exactly the reservoir of unbounded creativity in our own hands - whatever one thinks about God in a materialistic way.  This is very good new "old" news.   A Sufi teacher once told the story of an intelligent but not particularly intuitive person who searched in vain for the lost house key under the street lamp where the light was best.  He was not looking where he actually had lost it somewhere off the path in the dark.  

 

Creativity is definitely off the well lit path where the light is of a different and more fundamental kind.  

 

So then a new product in order to be successful is going to have been the result of this kind of entanglement of fundamental reality ( as creativity off the well lit path ) and practical materialism.  Most anything can be marketed and sold with enough fear or greed based propaganda but that is not creativity and is not finally satisfying to anyone's ability to actualize creative response.   The deeper and more intuitive rooted the need for a "product" the more the need is recognized as a creative impulse.   This is when brilliant solutions are more as intuitively satisfying ideas than they are as products.   

 

Just my 2 cents….
