Thanks for taking the time to respond, but I’m still not convinced. Until at least the 16th Century most people on the planet believed if they did certain rituals and followed certain superstitions, often practiced by millions of people at the same time that it would have an effect on reality. Other than the often horrific things they did to each other it didn’t do anything. A change in behavior or belief won’t alter gravity or the laws of physics. New discoveries might show us that some of these laws don’t function exactly like we think they do currently, but it won’t be our beliefs that effect that.

I agree that we are in a very exciting time. Assuming we don’t destroy ourselves and possibly all life on the planet the technological advances we are going to potential make are going to be pretty amazing.

If you haven’t read Homo Deus yet I highly recommend it. I think you would find it fascinating.
