>Basically, it is a specialized method of learning faster and retaining knowledge more comprehensively. Think about it -- what percentage of what you learn do you retain? In all likelihood, you are losing information almost as fast as you are gaining. Second, assemble the information into a useful format within your mind. Then, find out where inventions emerge within the mind. Turns out, you won't like the answer. Your mind invents in a place you may not be able to access. Break into this space and you will be inventing quickly, methodically, and reliably. To solve the learning problem and the thinking problem will take some years.
>I invent using a specific system that was developed by myself and a colleague when we were in college. The system allows one to invent in whatever field you want and methodically (you will definitely solve the problem more effectively than even the practitioners within the field). However, there are specific limitations. However, it is one of the few "systems" that is methodical and that can be taught. It is not random. My colleague has something like 60-70 patents and is also a successful inventor and intrapreneur. He did not like being independent so he has stayed at a large company. I went solo.
Everyone wanted to know the details of these ideas, but the OP refused to provide any specifics, not even a very general overview.
Despite this, there were a few interesting tidbits concerning patents and about how he generally approaches his career and problem solving. I'd really like to know more about his process though.
