Creative Imagination: Worlds and Realities Imagined
Thesis:
Humans’ creative imagination often reflects the humanity’s thought processes aimed at envisaging the future. These projections into the future – more often than not – focus on ways in which people would like to improve places inhabited (1), look for opportunities to discover and appropriate new spaces (2) as well as inexhaustibly try to better and/or enhance human potential (3). As such, these mental representations of imagined worlds or realities often showcase the shared-by-all-of-us aspirations of living comfortable and abundant lives as well as attempts to attain perfection in every way.

IMAGINING A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN
Narratives set in the times-to-come often reflect our today’s wishes for a better future. In this sense, they are more about what we dream of today rather than of humanity’s tomorrow. Our present-day wishes and concerns seem to revolve around almost idyllic – at least at first glance - harmoniously designed or organized, clean, safe, and abundant aesthetically pleasing spaces.

From discovery and exploration to appropriation
Narratives discussed are also reflective of the humans’ unquenchable desire to possess and appropriate more, which urges Man to indefatigably launch new space exploration.

IMAGINING A SCARY REALITY AWAITING US IN THE FUTURE
In their never-ending and often egotistical desire to go beyond, humans however often trespass boundaries, and by doing so, challenge the tenets of ethics. Without necessarily always thinking about potential consequences, they persistently push scientific discovery or innovative approaches to societal organization forward. Narratives about our collective selfish lack of responsibility and foresight inspire fears of monstrous realities of our own making.

What do various mechanisms underlying human relationships, determined by healthy egoism, self-identification and self-assertion, on the one hand, and altruistic drives as well as a need to become part of group dynamic and to accept difference, on the other, reveal about the complexity of human interactions?
