Education can be a boundary for imagination.

Thank you for your reply, I shall now hand out mine. "Imagine you are born in a blank world. There is nothing there. No plants, no animals, no humans, no land, no sky... There are only 2 things that exist, never-ending nothingness and you. Do you think you could attain any kind of knowledge from such a kind of a world? No. Which definitely, in this situation implies 'no imagination'." I have two rebuttals for this point. Number one, it is obvious that there is no such world and we have absolutely no knowledge on this place. Yet you somehow conjured up such a place with such detail. This applies to what you were saying on - K (knowledge) = - I (Imagination). You asked me, a person who had no knowledge that such a world existed to imgine that I was there. One thing is certain, I will die. Yet again, even without any knowledge at all, I still could imagine therefore, slightly destroying your point. Number two, it was absolutely the same for aliens. We live in a world where aliens don't exist, which is, similiar to your IMAGINATIVE world. Lack of knowledge didn't stop us from thinking how they look like in movies and TV shows. "What if no one had any knowledge about networking. Then the Internet wouldn't technically exist." Well if we wanted a full understanding, we would have to go way back towards the root cause. I am not a history guy but the general idea is with me. My answer to your statement is you are wrong. Even without knowledge, we could still invent the Internet. How do I know that? Humanity has been exactly in that situation yet it proved you wrong. Lets go back to when the Internet wasn't here. They have knowledge on networking yes. However let's go back to when networking DIDN'T exist. They had math. Let's go back to when it didn't exist. Then we could go on and on until we find that we didn't have any knowledge of the sort yet was born the one genius who invented the first mathamatical calculations which led to the discovery of another to another so on and on up to the internet. See? ABSOLUTELY no knowledge yet discovered. Did you think that when we were born 'POOF' the knowledge of networking was inbound in our heads? No. For something to be discovered, you need to be stupid but imaginative. That was how the Internet and many others were formed therefore, destroying your point. "What if you had no knowledge of addiction? What if you did not know numbers? Would such kind of a person still be able to understand it as a joke? Obviously not." As I said earlier, even with absolutely no knowledge, you still would have imagination. I could use the timeline method again but I think you got the idea. Therefore, I shall elaborate. You mentioned math. What about english. Our ancestors had no knowledge of grammar, nouns, verbs, etc. Howver did it stop english from being created? No. Spanish? French? Portugese? Chinese? All of them started as nothing at all. No form of 'knowledge'. Therefore I state again that without knowledge there wouldn't necessarily be no imagination. In all, one statement destroys all of your points. Humanity has proven that they had imagination even with no knowledge. Therefore, I say good luck to my opponent and hand the debate over to the government.
