Everything and everyone else is just a figment of imagination, so there's no particular reason not to make these figments disappear by, say, mass annihilation."
Hahaha, I just realized something too!
All these people are saying "I don't exist, I was made up by you. So you're saying my mind made you up. But you obviously had to make me up. Then isn't there a third party involved? We cancel out each other, or it's just a never ending chain of either I thought you up, or you thought me up.

SR doesn't say that human beans are not real. I'm a real human bean, people I met on the street and people in my life are real human beans, but none of the human beans are conscious or consciousness.
Consciousness exists while you're sleeping and it doesn't need a human bean to do so, most people think sleep is when the human mind dreams, but those same people also think they are human beans having a consciousness, when it's actually the other way around (IMO) this approach to human bean existance is useful for it places creativity with thought and choice and it also stops you competing with other human beans
A belief system is useless if it doesn't empower you.
