    Acho que tenho o exemplo perfeito: um amigo e colega cirurgião oftalmologista muito influente de Maceió/Brasil sonhou, há poucos anos, com um desenho em “espiral” e, ao despertar, associou o desenho à possibilidade de criar um novo e disruptivo tipo de óptica para lentes intraoculares multifocais. Essa inspiração trazida por um sonho resultou numa lente com excelentes resultados em termos de qualidade óptica e que tem sido muito bem aceita no mundo inteiro. NFI ( não tenho qualquer interesse financeiro nesta divulgação).

    Flow state is very paranormal feeling. Feels the same as faith if you’ve ever felt unshakable faith.

This speaker took on gerrymandering in her state — and won! #TEDTalks
