Would you live in a World without Fiction?

Forget Science Fiction, Fantasy, RPG, Comic books, Movies, Video Games, Myths, Story telling, creative writing and all those things that inspire us and excite us. No imagination at all. Picture a world of pure logic and fact. No imagination or even magic. Just pure rational thought and deductive reasoning.

Would you live in such place?

Can such a world advance? Advancement entails the pursuit of a fictional "better state of being", I don't believe that such a world could advance. So, no, I would not live in that world.

It is not logical to have a world without fiction.

If you were to have a world based purely on logic then the whole world would be morons since imagination is necesarry in the learning process. We wouldn't even be able to walk or talk without imaginative thinking. And logic has it's need of imagination, even in mathematics: "if", "then", "imagine a triangle" etc.
So no.

From what is known of the human brain it seems that the way we think, and the way we percieve the world through our senses are in direct link to owr imagination. For all we know everything we sense and feel may just be imagination.

But advancement needs imagination. You know... before Eisntein discovered special relativity, it was fiction.

I've always held that Eistein made his discoveries by the use of mathematics and not fiction.

Does porn count as fiction? If not, I could make due. If yes, I'd kill myself in a heartbeat.

But the idea had to come from somewhere.

Even if it's something like changing one number in an equation, it's because of someone wondering what would happen and being curious about the answer.

I agree with Lana.... the idea has to come from somewhere.... relativity cannot be entirely deduced by pure mathematics... Einstein needed to make some assumptions first.... and those assumptions require creativity... you cannot deduce assumptions.
