if enough people believe in something, it will become manifest.

regardless of institutional forces against that belief.

our ability to communicate and convince others to believe in something is what makes us human, and has allowed us to defy "natural forces" for ~100k years.

recently, the internet has enabled more rapid amplification of novel beliefs, quickly turning the tides against centralized institutions that are the de facto.

masses of individual believers can swarm and overwhelm, creating a new future.

this is playing out in a variety of ways.

TSLA, BTC, Trump, election fraud, GME defied the natural forces that said they should not exist. but enough distributed individuals believed them into existence, defying centralized institutions.

this is neither good nor bad.

simply put, facts are about the past. beliefs can define the future.
