Judgment is not enough. We need generative, productive, design and creative thinking. Not from the greater exercise of our traditional thinking, which is much too slow at producing new ideas. Nor can we waite for the slowness of chance and evolution. We do not have to wait.
Creativity is no longer a mysterious talent.
That is the basis of lateral thinking. We now know there is a mathematical necessity for lateral thinking. Any self-organising system stabilises as a local optimum. We need to upset the local optimum in order to move towards the global optimum. I once designed a computer model of a brain with just five neurons.
