I can see where you're coming from. My opinion is due to mankinds proven short term memory loss, I would say it's definitely a good thing there are people around reminding us about how powerful we really are.

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? |
Here's my two cents on the subject.
The common conception of time is actually incorrect. Ask any physicist and he will grudingly agree. I say grudingly cause it's a hard pill to swallow that for thousands of years our common conception of time is incorrect.
Google time and quantum physics, you'll see.
