A fish doesn't know it's in water because it never experienced anything else.
Can we imagine anything other than the system we live in?
I suppose we can imagine small adjustments like higher or lower taxation, more or less regulation, increasing or decreasing subsidies for different groups.
But that's like slightly changing the temperature or salinity of the water we're swimming in. It doesn't help us imagine what walking through air would be like.
