The imagination is a phenomenal thing. With it we can create fantastical realms where anything is possible; where we can solve the world’s problems and all of its injustices. It is where history’s greatest luminaries and villains have sought refuge as they gave birth to the ideas and movements that have shaped our civilizations and cultures. It is where we, as individuals, make sense of who we are.
However, if left unchecked, the imagination has the power to push us beyond the bounds of our abilities and of reality. As the La(z)y Intellectual, I do my best to straddle this fine line as I investigate the issues and answer the questions that many of us have about life in the 21st century. By harnessing the imagination I seek to improve the world; if I fail this website will be a monument to my hubris.
