The Imaginary What could be said about the act of using one's imagination? The capacity to foresee the future? What kind of “hook” could one use in a presentation?

A human characteristic “The human being is the only animal that thinks about the future. (…) Until a chimp “knows” about the law of gravity (…) until it weeps at the thought of growing old alone, or smiles as it contemplates its summer vacations, or turns down a fudgsicle because it already looks fat in shorts, I will stand by my version (…) we think about the future in a way no other animal can, does, or even has, and this simple, ubiquitous, ordinary act is a defining feature of our humanity.” Daniel Gilbert – renowned psychologist from Harvard University But why????

Our brain allows us to “plan”. The human brain is equipped with a part that allows us to make “plans” and “predictions”: the frontal lobe. Amusingly enough, it is also the source of “anxiety”.
