Some of these have prevailed against the tests of time and armies of knowledgeable critics – thus far.




And many more of these crazy concepts have NOT prevailed.  :shrug: The fact that creative thinking has occasionally resulted in expanded knowledge does NOT mean that we should respect every wild, baseless idea that is proposed, particularly when those who propose the idea cannot provide a shred of support for their assertions.

Then there would be no New Age, UFO, or psychic section of the bookstore. :frown:

All this time I've loved you
And never known your face
All this time I've missed you
And searched this human race
Here is true peace
Here my heart knows calm
Safe in your soul
Bathed in your sighs

reason is an effort to know the unknown
and intuition is the happening of the unknowable.

to penetrate the unknowable is possible,
but to explain it is not.

the feeling is possible,
the explanation is not.

feelings are for the imagination.
explanations serve knowledge.

they're both very important.

I think there's a reason we are given both. Both are important and fundamental to being a functioning human being. I think its wrong to say that imagination is a given unless you have a mental defect, and that logic is better because its not always present. If you were completely lacking in either way of thought you would be mentally retarded. For example without imagination you would be completely unintuitive and would need every step of even the most basic functions of life described in minute detail and if there were any variation or surprise you would not be able to compute it. Where as if you were without logic your thoughts would be a random unintelligible mess not based on anything.

If Einstein had never progressed beyond imagination, daydreaming & creative thinking, he would not have accomplished the amazing work we are all (I hope) familiar with.


Of course. but that is not what I was suggesting. Let me rephrase:

I'd rather have Einstein's imagination and MY critical thinking skills... than my imagination and Einstein's critical thinking skills.
