Insight -  Is it possible to create it?

I used to think if ten thousand pupils were trained with very fluent thinking skills, it could be  helpful for the economy.

Fluency training is easy.  It needs only time.

For example,  can you put a three dimensional object into a two dimensional paper?

It is drawing.

If you draw five hundred pictures a day,  soon you will obtain a technique  turning  any object into photo quality drawings easily.

Same is music playing, or essay writing.

If you practice it every day, every week,  twenty years later,  you can possibly make a living with it. 

But it might not be helpful to create insight.

Insights need fluency. But fluency cannot create insight.

It's like food. Eating can help you survive, but if you wish to achieve more,  you need to put blood into it.

The  Chinese story of the Monkey King is stimulating.

He was oppressed and suppressed under a huge rock for five hundred years and became a  genius.

Not every oppressed and suppressed people could be  genius,  there were numerous sad stories to prove it.  

There might be no formula for insight.   There might be no formula for genius.

You can work hard,  You can use up all your blood and all your life, and please do not expect miracles to happen, though you will achieve something valuable.

You can have a complete dedicational  life.    But it is strange that people with insight do not expect earthly reward.

They achieve, but needing not to receive....

 

One last word worth  mentioning is that: 

There is no insight in AI mechines.

Do no expect to produce insight from machines.

If insights are so easily obtainable, humans will have no hope and be ruined.

There are fluency people everywhere.  

Do not surrender to them.
