I would say that they can't recombine ("They cannot think about anything that is not very strictly based on things they see around"). So they wouldn't be able to imagine new stuff actually. But randomness would certainly replace imagination. They would randomly combine stuff and see if they like it. Litterature wouldn't exist, and music would be more like techno (using samples). But I guess, abstract painting would still be created(maybe not apreciated) | |
