I think this sentence is almost correct. The act of creation does wonders and induces imagination, but that is not the only way to achieve imagination. The act of just going deep on a thought and abstracting away the frictions of the real world can do wonders. Imagination is probably most readily available to a brain that is operating at its most abstract level.
- musingsole 5y agoMinds are pattern repeaters. Creation begets imagination begets creation begets...Separating the two or holding one over the other is rather pointless. You can tell a child they can create things. That should be enough for them to abstractly reason from there about all the possibilities, right? Or is it that you have to teach a child to create so that they can imagine what they might create next?
- soheil 5y agoI don't think minds are mere pattern repeaters. There is unlimited complexity if you just follow a simple cellular automata [0]. So not sure where the idea that creation is the fuel for the fire of imagination comes from. [0] http://atlas.wolfram.com/01/01/31/ http://atlas.wolfram.com/01/01/31/
