> What'll really bake your noodle is what happens when a thing only comes into existence if you believe in it? At least as interesting imho: belief can cause nonexistence to come into existence also: "There is no reason to believe", "There is no evidence", etc. Even stranger: education very often amplifies and reinforces the illusion. Consciousness and culture are are arguably the two most powerful forces in existence (we've picked most of the powerful low hanging fruit in science), too bad we don't study them with any sort of "real" seriousness. I wonder if it is purely accidental.
