Out of The Box

This document discusses ways to think creatively by getting out of the box. It argues that creativity is a necessity, not a luxury, and that thinking outside of established boundaries gives human dignity. The "box" refers to mental boundaries within our minds separating what we know from what we have not considered. Adding new, divergent information and long thinking can help get out of the box. Once outside established thinking, we should resist the urge to return to old patterns and instead associate ideas in new combinations to potentially create valuable new ideas. The environment sometimes requires staying within conventional thinking, but being able to think outside the box is important when environments prevent challenging ideas.
