How to Break Your Scientific Mind.

I am a Mathematician.
Which, by definition, makes me a 'logical' person in ways of solving problems. Even in life situations.
This approach in life causes several dilemmas, as I happen to also be an artist.

Singing, dancing, writing and painting often neglects 'logics' and prefer 'insanity'.
So what does one do, exactly, to break out of one's 'Scientific Mind'?


I'm sure there are books and articles by the bucket that tell you, but I wanted to share what I did when I was younger to do so.
It isn't hard;
you are able to take advantage of your logical side in trying to break out of yourself.
Now, if you are ready, read onwards!




"Prove 2+2=5"




There are no rules; you may use any logic and reasoning, also assumptions to prove this.
It's quite fun, actually.
I think I wrote a full 6-page reasoning/written work in doing this. Unfortunately, I cannot find it.

If you can prove yourself in doing this, you are well on your way to having a hybrid Scientific-Art mind.
And if you come up with one you are excited about, do show me; I do enjoy creative problem solving.
