In short, how does a baby create his reality? And what about babies that die soon after they've been born? How the hell did they choose that?


This is just one of the many SR theory (the "solipsism" (http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/200...-vs-solipsism/) view) inconsistences. To assume that we create EVERYTHING around us is just megalomaniacal and nonsensical.
According to SR, you are the only conscious one. Everything and everyone outside of self is a projection or image of your thoughts/beliefs. This is how everything is your creation. You were the only one "Born" into this reality, and even that is an illusion.
