Kermit The Frog — Reading Response 1 (Bista)

I concur with Kermit’s “conspiracy of craziness” and the subsequent idea of the freedom of thought. To have the audacity to think beyond the conventional is the craziness that Kermit refers to. Had Galileo not advocated for the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus against the predominant geocentrism of the Catholic Church, would man have ever stepped foot on the distant floating rock that changes every day? Would Rover be looking for signs of life on the dusty red planet? “Suspending disbelief” is where creativity originates. Add to this, the freedom of thought that entertains the premise that what seems impossible is eventually achievable, and we foster creativity. Just as the telescope magnifies the image in the sky, we see a flag standing atop the Moon’s surface, and a Tesla Roadster floats in space while we think of growing plants in Mars.
