On the other hand the problem with too much imagination is that we lose our anchor to the physical reality, our boundaries are evaporated. When we deny our reality, we find ourselves in the realm of post-truth. What's real and what's an illusion we don't know anymore. And so, we have to constantly balance between being here in the body and being able to access the mundus imaginalis.

The toxic fiat system is among others a problem of our disconnect from reality.

One of our biggest losses is the one of imagination. With that comes the urge to have everything explained, measured, quantified which leaves only a little space for "that is not there", for anything new to be seen. When we imagine, we can create, innovate, revolt, or even empathise. Satoshi certainly imagined before he (?) created #Bitcoin.
