I can actually use one of my favorite quotes for my response!
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” - Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge because with knowledge you can only go so far, you see with your imagination you can go anywhere you want and do anything you want. You can dream anything you want.
This is the type of bullshit they want you to think. In reality in our capitalistic day and age, imagination isn't getting your anywhere, to succeed nowadays one must be ruthless and smart. Knowledge is power, both literally and figuratively, unfortunately.
I don't know, it is weird to think about but if you were extremely stupid you wouldn't know but if you are extremely smart you are well aware. I feel like the power of imagination is not as expansive as the power of knowledge. I personally have a fair mix of the 2 and I enjoy it.
