Can The Human Brain Create?

supposed you locked someone up inside of a cell and did not allow them to see anything except for the few things they must need to see for the experiment.
They were born there and grew up in the cell.
You give them nothing to stimulate their mind and no information to poison their mind.
All they have is some stuff to do art with.
They have no idea about the forms that exist in life.
Supposed they had a VR headset to do the art with with some program, but they cannot see their own body so unfortunately the most they know is the feeling of the shape of their body.
In this thought experiment these are the questions I'm curious about:
What art will this person produce?
Will they even be able to produce art without the information?
I assumed they will be able to create geometric forms and then learn those and make art mostly based on those.
post thoughts or your own thought experiments.
I propose this one because there may exist many forms we've never seen before and therefore we may be exactly like this, but blind in a different way.

should we move large dense heavy objects to very high elevations in order to slow the earth's rotation and lengthen the day?
alternatively
should we move large dense heavy objects to very low elevations in order to speed up the earth's rotation and shorten the day?
odds the former, evens the later
dubs we build enormous, nuclear powered funiculars in geographically advantageous locations so that large dense heavy objects can be rapidly cycled between very high and very low elevation in order to create an amusing lurches in the earth's rotation.

I still cannot grasp the full meaning of the Laplace transform / transfer function. What I got is that if we consider the restriction of the s-domain to the positive imaginary axis the tf spits out the frequency response of the system (modulus = gain and phase). What I don't get is the meaning of inputting any other complex value into the function and what's the interpretation of the output.

Are there any pros or long term cons of not taking allergy medicine?

No.13383873 ViewReplyOriginalReport
For example, recent studies show that hay fever prevents many types of cancer. Would not taking allergy meds make whatever is happening to prevent cancer more potent? Or would someone unmedicated with hay fever be in danger of an autoimmune disorder or other inflammatory issues from the immune system going to hard?
