        Hello there.  I recently read a book by Dr Edward De Bono called
"I am Right, You are Wrong" in which the author builds upon a model of
th brain as an active patterning information system & uses it to
highlight the resulting cognitive phenomenon such as perception, and how
our traditional thinking habits of critical thinking & argumentation
have been indequate in dealing with human affairs. He proposes a new (?)
system of thinking based on perceptual truths, "water logic", and
lateral thinking.  I would like to know the views of others, who have
read the book, over the author's assertions - in particular, over actual
use & implmentation of his ideas.
