Quiroga - 35

 

INFALLIBLE IMAGINATION

The power of imagination is not infallible, and for this reason it deserves the contempt of the scientific community, and our humanity is left to live a good part of its reality and existential construction on the sidelines of “how things should be”, according to science. .

Science is not able to explain everything and it should be treated within the relevant proportions, never as the Supreme Church that determines the difference between reality and fantasy.

Science, for example, with its foundations, will never be able to explain why all people, countless times, foresee encounters and coincidences that later come true.

Finally, it is better not to convert science into a belief that solves everything, because by its very nature, science despises and devalues all experiences that are beyond its reach and domain.

At the same time, neither so much there nor too much here, because it is not a question of enthroning mysticism as the explainer of all reality, science helped us to overcome this stage, despite having also become mystical.

It is also auspicious that the power of imagination is not infallible, because it would be terrible to accomplish everything we imagine, but if we look at the world and the endless abominations that compose it, we may have to consider that, in some roundabout way, imagination finds a way to become concrete.

Imagination does not find scientific support, because it operates beyond individuality, in a collective dimension, meandering through each person to find a way to fulfill itself.
