Many highly intelligent people often take up a view on a subject and then use their intelligence to defend that view. Since they can defend the view very well they never see any need to explore the subject or listen to alternative views. This is poor thinking and is part of the 'intelligence trap'.

De Bono's tools are pretty useful...it refreshes the mind somewhat - ever stare at the Web browser just randomly clicking here clicking there with almost no purpose in mind? That's our brains screwing with us. De Bono's solution? Screw with IT, not vice-versa, ha!
Happy New Doggy Year, bro! :))
