A-POC respects that there is a fine balance between the value of the human touch, which can be called artisanal, and the abilities of technology. I like to think of it as poesy and technology.

Understanding POV is essential, or ought to be.

I find that nothing but very close and intense application to subjects of a scientific nature now seems at all to keep my imagination from running wild, or to stop up the void which seems to be left in my mind from a want of excitement.

Imagination is Reality Lite - a useful substitute when the real pleasure is inaccessible, too risky, or too much work.

Obviously the imagination is fueled by emotions beyond the control of the conscious mind.

Imagination allows us to escape the predictable. It enables us to reply to the common wisdom that we cannot soar by saying, 'Just watch!'

One of the secrets of life is to keep our intellectual curiosity acute.

It is the mystery of the creative act that something other than our conscious self takes over.

Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power to that enables us to empathize with humans whose experiences we have never shared.

It's useful to think of the imagination as an aspect of the body because it seems to have processes of its own that are obscure to us.
