We could say that nothing exists outside of our consciousness.
Could say nothing existed before I did.
Those history books about the 1930? Didn't really happen. I just think it did.
I can even find pictures from the Great Depression, to help convince me it happened.
But all of this is filtered through my personal consciousness.
California might not even really exist until I decide to think about it.
At the end of the day, even if this were true, we seem to have no way of proving it to ourselves.
And it doesn't change anything anyway.
Unless for some reason it makes you happier or makes you feel more powerful.
Then go ahead and believe in it. Do what works for you.
All of our life's understanding is based on assumptions anyway.
I don't really care if someone is "delusional" if they produce great results.
This does seem like Philosophy 101, I agree.
