Not sure what branch of philosophy I've ventured into this time.
Anyway, human beings shape the world with their thoughts, you think of something (imagination), you want it bad enough (desire), you have the ability (will) and you bring the thing to fruition. So anything that we've ever created, built or destroyed came from an original idea somewhere down the line.
Imagine going down to the corner store to get a soda. If you cannot imagine yourself doing that, can you actually do it? Take it up to more difficult and abstract scenarios, like disarming a nuclear bomb, drawing a picture of something you've never seen or simply thinking of something to do when you're bored.
What if someone actually had a disease where the person could not know that a world exists on the other side of the closed door. A sort of empiricism disease or what some people try to term as 'scientific' faith.
