The foundations of innovation and the way to solve problems with innovative methods are not fundamentally compatible with conformity. Solving extreme problems is related to innovation. Because to solve a problem, you must first be innovative, and especially put aside the myth of "expertise." Having expertise means using existing and tested solutions. An expert is someone who places problems in the scope of their previous knowledge and solves them based on previous experiences. Such an innovative person is not considered flexible, sensitive, independent, and motivated; rather, he is considered someone who is rigid and inflexible because he always follows a pattern.
It seems that although innovation is also seen in some animals, it is specific to humans. Innovation caused humans to come down from the trees and live on the ground millions of years ago. Some researchers believe that innovation requires a kind of destruction, rejection of conformity and absolutism. When it comes to innovation or creativity, the works of Copernicus (1473-1543) or Galileo (1642-1564) are usually cited as examples. Copernicus proposed the hypothesis that the planets revolve around themselves and around a star other than the Earth. This means that the planets have two types of motion: movement around themselves and movement around another star. Suppose you lived in that period (1512)? Can you imagine what would have happened to you? Copernicus threw aside all the concepts and beliefs related to astronomy of his time and created a completely separate and different way of thinking. Today, we only need to look around us a little to notice other examples of innovations: advertising, fashion, design, some crimes, etc. The innovation process depends on the context or context in which it takes place. In other words, the innovation process depends on the physical or semantic environment in which it is presented. For example, we know that the shadows of objects made Galileo think about the motion of the earth. Physical context. Or suppose you are digging in Egypt and suddenly find a coin on which is written: 42 BC. What do you think? If you are an innovative person, you will immediately say that this coin is fake because history cannot be written about a person before he is born. Here, the innovation process has a historical context. The innovation context of poets is semantic or symbolic.
And finally, the innovation process depends on the number of hypotheses that a person can express about a subject. There are different formulas for expressing and formulating hypotheses, which we will talk about in the next issues.
