What is The Power of Opposite Thinking?

Thinking what no one else has thought
or taking an action no one else has taken
by daring to think or do the opposite --
even if it seems to make no sense
or seems to go against existing data
or seems counterintuitive
or even if, in some cases, it seems to have no meaning or purpose.

Assuming or hypothesizing the opposite of a belief you hold,
in order to decide whether the original belief should be discarded or revised.

Temporarily assuming the point of view of another -- a POV opposite to yours --
in order to understand it and find potential good and common ground in that "oppPOV".

Searching for new solutions to a problem
by trying the opposite of what you know doesn't work.

All of the above.
And more.
This is OppThink.
