It's more the balance between think and do. We have thinking so we need to do less but doing gives you experience that opens new ways of thinking.

it is an interesting conundrum.
would experience gained from visualization / imagination count?
guess it would require a good foundation of real world experience before hand though.
human
No because what sparks new viewpoints are the parts of the experience that were outside of your agency and forces you to adapt. I also think that there is a metaphysical part about experience that connects possible experiences with your capabilities of Imagination. But that might be schizo talk. But you still have to act to create those possibilities.

very true.
if the tesla stories are true, it would show where one can take the abilities.
go through many experiences / experiments before bringing them into the real world and seeing how close they were in accuracy while in the mind.

It's more like setting up the prequisites for an experience to heighten its probability to happen and through that it's easier to derive its gist through inagination even if the actual experience didn't actually played out. But it's still necessary to act since no action lessens the possibility to gain any experience. But as I said that might be schizo talk and it's just body chemistry jumpstarting your brain. But I live quite well assuming it's the schizo way.

there is value in well stated probabilities.
if only for material to use with contemplation.
appreciate the sharing of input regardless.
