As I was driving today I began thinking about what it means to "imagine" something in our times today. The thought that struck me was this, can we actually create something completely our own, or in our minds do we re-appropriate images and instances we have experienced in our lives or in the media?
Is there ever a time when we can truly create something in our minds that we have no prior memory of. We can imagine a scenario whose probability is somewhere in the 1:1000000000 region, but is any of that scenario something we are completely unfamiliar with? Can we as humans create something within our conscious that has never existed there before?
Just a thought.
