What is Imagination?

[VV3ZZY123]

Which came first,
Imagination, or Reality?

Dictionary: the faculty or action of forming new ideas, or images or concepts of external objects not present to the senses.

Was there even a "you" to create?
Could this creation exist without a creator?

It must have taken a long time to imagine this. Many failed "Iterations" that lead to nothingness...

No one knows or can ever know. It's silly to say "The Universe must have been created" without asking how the supposed creator was created.

[VV3ZZY123]

Exactly!! No Deity, No Afterlife, no Time!! Just Fractals that go on forever! Just like Space has to be infinitely huge and Small at the same time!

I love imagination. It's my fave illusion of the 🧠 brain's conjuring mmmm 😈👿 hooray for the devil 😈

Probably reality. Imaginations are only known to have appeared late in the universe when it has been around long enough for life to form.

It's nothing much. Hence why there isn't much philosophy concentrated on it.

But "reality" is a different thing altogether as it's something people can share in.

[VV3ZZY123]

Naa I disagree

[VV3ZZY123]

I think Imagination just needs to be studied more

[strateguy632]

imagination is the soul so it was first

[OtterMan68]

imagination is one of the things that sets humans apart from other animals, and one could argue it's part of our soul

[VV3ZZY123]

How do you know other animals dont have imagination? I disagree

[jahaims]

Other animals have imaginations lol

[OtterMan68]

@jahaims they do? How can you tell? Their art?

[OtterMan68]

@jahaims when I see monkeys creating art in the wild, I'll agree with you

[VV3ZZY123]

Humans are not the only intelligent species.

[OtterMan68]

This is about imagination, not intelligence

[VV3ZZY123]

I've seen animals with more intelligence than some people...

[OtterMan68]

people are sheep

[VV3ZZY123]

I think you got it backwards... "Intelligence" is man made. Imagination is Reality

[jahaims]

You can literally google what animals have imaginations and then read the studies, lol.
