When imagination went crazy


"Imagination is more important than knowledge"-Albert Einstein (?). Well, probably, but I am not sure. But what if I need to get knowledge? Plain simple – the knowledge about how the things work, how and why the real world exists, why I am here and how I will get from point A to point B. I need to have the map over reality. And only then an imagination as a process of creating of thinking can be helpful. Probably. The imagination has to be based on some type of ontology. On some laws, objective rules of game. And these laws and rules do constitute the knowledge. Knowledge has to be ontological; imagination is a process of using knowledge in order to create new knowledge. And only when imagination goes crazy somebody can state that imagination is more important than knowledge. It looks like modern scientific imagination is not based on ontology but on another imagination which also is based on some kind of imagination and so on…. Like in this video:

And in this video (especially :) )
