Our Capacity for Imagination Has Allowed Us to Survive and how We Continue to Do so
Among the six different types of Humans that have existed, Homo Sapiens survived because of our Prefrontal cortex, which basically allows us to think more complexly.
Being able to think more complexly allowed us to organize, cultivate, teach, practice, ponder, habituate and create a world more suited for our survival.
Because of our ability to “imagine”, we were able to build Earth as it is today out of virtually nothing. (Imagine making a computer out of dust, imagine making a rock think.)
Thoughts create reality is more than just a nice idea, it’s a fact of evolution. It was through language and thought we were able to create a world inside our minds and ultimately, “manifest” it in the outside world (society).
