A book about 2D beings .

 

You have a weak imagination.

 

No. He's thinking of "Flatland", which is an excellent book.

 

Which Flatliner movie did you watch?

 

How so ?

To me imagination should be based on 3D physical objects , which exist . We are part of it and live within in it ; Our Universe .

It is the mathematical concept , 2D that has wrongly taken over our thinking . Our imagination . 2D will never , ever be physical .

 

So no pink elephants in your imagination?

 

Not in reality .

 

Rules are kind of the antithesis of imagination.

 

Not really .

 

Depends on how realistic you make your fantasy world.

1984 (Orwell) was all about rules.

 

Yes

Is it based on 3D physical world and life ?

Or a 2D mathematical world ?

 

Your choice.

 

3D

Our survival depends on a 3D approach to understanding the Universe .

 

What are we surviving from?

 

Really.

Rules about what one can and can't do are diametrically opposed to imagination, whose greatest strength lies in not having to follow rules.

 

It's a 3D world allright and more prophetic than fantasy, IMO.

In thinking about this question further...I wonder if living a life without any sense of purpose...if that might feel worse than death? Hmm.

ETA, but we really won't ''feel'' death, so maybe this is all a moot point.
