lateral thinking is a product of lateral motion

more specifically, three different kinds of lateral motion:

- lateral motion irl
- lateral motion online
- lateral motion on level of thought

these three kinds of motion correspond to three different worlds that we all inhabit

- the real world irl

- the virtual world online

- and of course, everyone also lives inside their own head

you need lateral thinking to have any original thoughts, which would not otherwise come to you

and to engage in lateral thinking, you need these three kinds of lateral motions

this thread is my short answer to the question of how to have original thoughts, which i have been asked many times in dm or on curiouscwatter
