Creativity/Brainwashing
May 30, 2019 18:56:49 #
I heard, a while back, that we're all a little brainwashed and it was proven by this short story.
I am wondering how much that brainwashing affects my creativity and ability for complex reasoning.
So here is the short story that I could not picture in my mind. If you heard this before please don't answer and give others a chance to question their brainwashing.
A man leaves home running, turns left at the corner and keeps running and turns left at the next corner, at the next corner he turns left again and runs back home where two men in masks are waiting for him.
What's the scenario?

MauiMoto - An interesting riddle, but how does it relate to the subject of this forum - Photography? Next time you might want to post items like this in the Chit-Chat section.

This is perfectly valid in this forum - and a good test of "thinking out of the box". But can you solve it? It will be a face-palming moment when you either figure it out or someone gives the solution. Trust me, it's not what you think. And you "could" work photography into it.

I looked it up on Google also. It's a clever riddle, but I can't see by any stretch of the imagination what it has to do with brainwashing.

Isn't most photography creativity?
I just never felt I was very creative, maybe a little, when I was doing Audio and video 30 years ago, some of my work got into magazines.
The digital world has left me behind and the VA got me back into photography.
I have come to realize how much brainwashing has affected me and wondering how much it affects creativity.
What scenarios do you see reading in the story?
Your reply was not helpful to me, not even a little bit. I'm asking here because of the creativity, amazing work and knowledge I see in here.

Can you elaborate about what type of brainwashing you endured, and how that took away your creativity? I'm not sure you know what brainwashing is.

It's not a really a riddle, it's just a story of something that happened, and depending on how we are programmed our preconceived notions may prevent us seeing what really happened in this case, but as far as creativity, does it block our imagination?
Does everyone else see it like some kind of crime is going to happen?
Or do creative people see anything else?
