I find the notion that factual past events are volatile and somehow fabricated by our present beliefs to be quite preposterous.

If that was the case, then how could we ever form a belief in the first place?

If reality was indeed totally defined by subjective beliefs, then what caused the first belief?

I'm sure you don't really believe that your entire past is just a fabrication of your current present beliefs, and that if you truly believed you were president at some point, then you could radically alter American political history... do you?
