For example, the first tenant, Chingodu cannot be for real use, is necessary to explain its name for useless tool. Those who practice Chindogu take the art seriously. The tenant Chindogu must not be made solely for the purpose of humor, claims that the invention should have meaning to the creator, even if it happens to be humorous. If the tenants are not met, the object is not recognized as true Chindogu. Chindogu is the art of the restless mind, says sophomore Jon Beilin.
Great inventions come by accident, too.
However, some do not share the same perspective that Beilin conveys. Many believe that such creations lack human intellect. However, wacky inventions only limit mankind's power of growth. Sophomore Duma Masilela believes the world needs less of Chindogu and useless items because of more important issues in the world. When half of our world suffers from poverty and starvation, it is hard for some to accept Chindogu in its art form.
