Imagination vs. knowledge?

DungT
Is imagination more important than knowledge?
  • Imagination is the only way to find new things to know, but things known are not always valuable. Knowledge is only important if it used as a semi flexible backstop to support imagination with. Imagination is only important when the current paradigm is untenable or outdated or outmoded by some other imaginative new discovery, and you know the current knowledge is no longer useful.
    All statements contained here are either known or imagined, depending on your point of view.
    Dang it, I think I just sprained my brain on that answer, need advil stat.
  • I imagine that it is, but I just don't know!
  • I'll take this guys word for it......

    “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
  • Without knowledge there can be no imagination and without imagination we gain no knowledge or experiance. We gain experiance just after we need it because before we actually experiance something we can only use our past knowledge to imagine what it will be like.

    He also said “The true sign of intelligent is not knowledge, but imagination”. His imagination led to his discovery the theory of general relativity. He proved his point!
    Einstein has an IQ of 160, Leonardo De Vinci has an IQ of 200, and both loved and practiced arts. Art helps you to overcome the mental conflict between the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere of the brain, which helps your imagination in a logical way. So, intelligent is more important than knowledge, only if you are intelligent, knowledgeable and with the ability to shift the visual, spatial mode of the brain at will. For a guy like myself, my imagination is about as worthless as my knowledge. Different strokes for different folks I guess.Smiley
