Philosophy of Imagination*Five
When last we spoke, we were talking about cyanobacteria (pictured above -- beautiful yeah?). The first single-celled organism. Life! How did it become an organism? How did it decide to change? How did it change? Why did it change? To survive? It was the only organism, so it didn't have any predators. The elements. The atmosphere and liquids and solids that also existed. It asked the question, in some abstract way, 'how do I make this Earth a better place?' What made that happen? Pure chemistry? Imagination? Can Imagination exist outside of an organism? I think yes. It could be a particle we haven't discovered yet? Could it be gravity? Perhaps. Dark matter? Perhaps. Something makes cells and living things change, so they can go on living and make the World a better place.
Why not Imagination?
