What if the best way to solve a problem is to deliberately suggest the worst possible solution first? What happens when you remove the rules everyone assumes are necessary? Or do the exact opposite of what seems logical? In this interactive workshop, Ben will introduce you to Non-Conformist Brainstorming: a way of generating ideas by challenging the invisible assumptions that keep our thinking predictable. Through absurd provocations, reverse thinking and deliberately rule-breaking challenges, you'll take ordinary problems and attack them from directions your brain would normally dismiss before you've even considered them.

Ben's workshops are designed to make you think beyond the obvious, and this one will be no exception. Working in groups, you'll experiment with strange constraints, ridiculous ideas and intellectual rebellion, then discover how surprisingly often something genuinely clever emerges from the chaos. The goal isn't simply to "think outside the box," but to understand why the box was there in the first place, who decided its rules, and what becomes possible when you stop accepting them automatically. Expect activities, thought experiments, plenty of laughs and the satisfying experience of catching your own brain taking shortcuts. You'll leave with practical techniques for generating more original ideas, and hopefully a slightly more rebellious mind.

如果解决一个问题的最好方法，是先故意提出一个最烂的方案呢？要是把那些大家都觉得理所当然的规则拿掉，会发生什么？或者干脆朝着完全反逻辑的方向走？在这场互动工作坊里，Ben会带你体验“非主流脑暴”——一种通过挑战那些让我们的思维变得可预测的隐形假设来产生创意的方法。通过荒诞的刺激、逆向思维和刻意打破规则的挑战，你会拿普通的问题下手，从那些你大脑通常会直接忽略的角度去攻击它。

Ben的工作坊从来都是逼你想点不一样的，这场也不例外。你会分组合作，尝试各种奇怪的限制、离谱的点子和反叛式的想法碰撞，然后你会惊讶地发现，混乱之中居然常常能冒出真正有灵光的东西。目标不是简单“跳出框框”，而是搞清楚那个框到底是怎么来的，谁定了框里的规则，以及当你不再下意识接受它们的时候，又有什么新可能。现场会有活动、思维实验、不少笑料，以及那种突然意识到自己大脑在偷懒的有趣瞬间。你走的时候会带走一些实用技巧，帮你产出更有原创性的想法，希望也能让你的脑袋瓜变得稍微叛逆那么一点点。
