If All You Have is a Hammer, Everything Looks Like a Nail

There is an old saying that if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. In a similar way, if all you have is analytical intelligence, everything looks like a math equation. Our education trains us very well in how to create information, specifically logical, formalized types of information. We can write papers, solve equations, and explain variables. But that educational mode overlooks how receptive we are to the information around us, which may often come in many different "flavors." In other words we are programmed to create and receive information on only a few channels. What about all the other channels? Are there intuitive types of information that are innate to our selves, that we need no instruction in how to use. Intuitive types of math, engineering, analysis, and calculation. The answer is a resounding "yes." People have been doing intuitive, yet complex types of maths for hundreds if not thousands of years. Stonehenge comes to mind. One of the reason it was believed that humans couldn't make complex crop circles was because of the math involved. And yet I witnessed countless circlemakers do "on the fly," paperless calculations while making their circles. It's time to accept the idea that intelligence is not just the product of a formal, rational process but also a function of the complexities of all relationships that are present in our lives at any moment. And that means being opening to receive many different channels at once. And some of channels may be "nonlocal."
