Mental Model : Inversion Thinking
"My job in the World War II was as an Meteorologist -
drawing weather maps and predict weather
What I was doing was ,to clear the pilots to take flights
I reversed the problem
If I were to kill a lot of pilots , what should I do?
-It was to get the plane in Ice
-It was to get plane in zones before they run out of fuels
before they can safely land!
(This inversion thinking) helped me to be a better meteorologist! "
My Note:
This is what airplane designers do as well!
What would fail the part - how many ways it can fail
and all you need to do then is to prevent the breaking!
As Pete Kaufman Says:
You should be able to look at the map from up above
and down below and be able to interpret both ways!
Inversion thinking model helps you with that!
