Bertrand Russell on problems and solutions

An interesting reminder for the morning. It is curious that we generally devote so little time to this in both our education and our work practices. Think how often the organizational and educational systems we are embedded in convey the implicit assumption that someone else has already defined the problem correctly and that our only responsibility is to produce the relevant solution. Possibly an acceptable message in an industrial world, but not one I would encourage in today's world

On Problems. On Problems --
"The greatest challenge to any thinker is stating the problem in a way that will allow a solution."
-- Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

Some pointers to an interesting set of blogs. I was immensely flattered to find McGee's Musings on the list. More importantly, it offers some pointers to some blogs I wasn't aware of. And it also shows off some of the interesting features of MindManger.
