A quote from The Wave in the Mind

A world that relies on social inequality to keep its machinery running can only afford for a handful of people to imagine themselves “gifted.”

Imagination – that ‘ability to look at things as if they could be otherwise’ – needs diversity to feed it.

Imagining is a rigorous discipline. Imagination is our greatest national resource, one that drives value creation across the sciences, the humanities, the arts, and business. All compelling entrepreneurial ventures, transformative social movements, and technological breakthroughs begin with an inspired sense of possibility.

The imagination works on the threshold that runs between light and dark, visible and invisible, quest and question, possibility and fact. The imagination is the great friend of possibility. Where the imagination is awake and alive fact never hardens or closes but remains open, inviting you to new thresholds of possibility and creativity.

radical imagination can inspire us to push beyond the constraints of what we think, and are told, is politically possible.
