I agree, well said. Most people can work and make money, but most people can't utilize their imagination to make something like the nuclear bomb, for example, or the theory of relativity.
I think our imaginations govern over our capacity for inner thoughts and even empathy; people with hyperphatasia tend to be significantly more compassionate in contrast. It also governs over things like fear, anxiety, and depression. My siblings would always make fun of me for being so scared of horror movies and it used to bother me, until I found out something similar would happen to Gandhi as a boy but it was regarding images of demons and the like from religious books of his time. He would suffer from "night terrors" as a result of it. It led me to understand that there's nothing wrong with me, and I'm not necessarily a "chicken," I just have a really big imagination and unfortunately, people who don't couldn't ever possibly completely understand. Leading to their arrogant assumptions to take over and boom, you're just a "baby." Ugh.
Hmm. Interesting. Based on what you're saying here I can't help but humbly point you towards my more allegorical, philosophical interpretation of the story of the Garden of Eden: https://lemmy.world/post/44870805
I'd be very interested in your thoughts on it if you're interested.
