Document Summary
Imagination = a curse and a gift for us. At the age of 2, could learn any language regardless of where you were. Humanness, the self, and the importance of relationships. First species in 4 billion years to have this much power even if the individual who created it has passed away, their idea is still brought forward. No creature on this earth have a crisis because of their imagination, except. Collective memory accumulation of information that carries on forward. We(cid:495)re the one species who don(cid:495)t understand how to be human, even though that(cid:495)s exactly what we are. Unique capacity to imagine ourselves as something we aren(cid:495)t. Imagine a life you(cid:495)ve never lived, a future that never existed. Our last name may be (cid:498)smith(cid:499) from blacksmith, or (cid:498)carpenter(cid:499), but we can. Trial and error we need to make mistakes to learn and build from them to. We aren(cid:495)t just individuals, we are a collective group.
