Apparently, we're ALL capable of thinking like a genius! Especially, when we challenge ourselves to express our dreams, ideals and boldest ideas by creating symbolic models and exploring their meanings with others. Imagine showing the world what ingenious things you can do to help improve it -- and then, doing them. This process of modeling what's on your mind is a must-do! The models you create enable you to show-and-tell your story...and shine!

I read your book, Think Like A Genius. You're "on point", as they say. (The answer is (W{ON)E}. Most important thing in your life. Spectrum communication. We're getting there. The essence of y our work is compassion. We will gethere by a bit of heart work until it is recognized as play. Thank you!!!!

@toddsiler1 I discovered your work in grad school. I really wish I had the grounding in math and science that you do. I always seek the space between thinks. The space of non ego mental communication. Your work is amazing.

That's because genius really means to create

Very exciting video. Well done!

Beautiful. I've used the software for a school project. Revolutionary. Easy to use. Fascination ensued.

I used the software and built a model a few years ago. I really enjoyed the process and still look back on the model I created from time to time. Everyone should give this a try.

....In other words, the symbolic models enable everyone to create, show and share one's ideas and solutions to urgent problems our world is facing.
