Because in reality, in Steves theory, your just saying I made myself believe in gravity since I made my parents.
So what your saying is I made my self believe in objective reality.
And that will just lead you back to my question
What made me believe in objective reality in the first place? |
I'm afraid you're completely missing the point. It has nothing to do with proving paradoxes that can go on infinitely. Correct me if I'm wrong here Steve but I don't think Steve is inferring that his version of subjective reality is infallible. It is merely a highly effective way of coming to terms with a number of internal contradictions that hinder the use of LOA. Sure, you end up with other contradictions but you are going to have contradictions with any viewpoint. The bottom line is that your beliefs definitely have a large influence on your reality no matter what belief system you are currently viewing from. Adopting Steve's subjective reality model, even temporarily can be said to be quite complementary to attracting/creating/shifting to meeting your needs.
If you truly found it to be so ridiculous as to discount its usefulness immediately we would not even be having this conversation right now. Any usefulness you find from it will not be in proving theory.
