    Isn't your gold eagle tangible. I said money. Not currency. Although it is useful for specific goals.

    Not true. Power, money and control are the most tangible things the physical realm has to offer. Power buys control. Money buys control. Control is the ability to dictate events in the physical realm. Control is a vector. A vector is a force with a direction. Given unlimited force and unlimited focus on direction, you can effect many things. You can also affect many things. You can certainly cultivate and maintain fantastic illusions.

    If I had a gold eagle it would be fungible for land. It is worthless for purchasing a loaf of bread. The reason for this is the baker doesn't have the status to own bread.

    Sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch .... If a thing is real these are the tools you have been granted to detect things that have existence. Any other concept is created in the mind. (including COVID19 or the idea that Biden is honorable)

    . The illusions you speak of all require a form of energy to maintain. The more fantastic the illusion the more energy required. All illusions eventually fail because the cost of maintaining them has to be born by someone.

    Reacting to an illusion is the desired work-product. Illusions are best ignored.

    I once made an ex-girlfriend literally disappear right before my eyes, didn't even see her and she was a couple of feet in front of me face to face. It was just me and her there. Boy did that ever piss her off!

    So what would one require to purchase a loaf of bread? And who owns the bread to begin with?

    Perhaps more pertinent is to ask "Who owns the space the bread occupies?"

    The same can be asked of the space the land occupies.

    What senses do you have at your disposal that works on space?

    Who owns the space you occupy?

    In the quantum universe things (events) don't happen by chance. They happen because some entity wills them into being.

    COVID-19 was willed into being. By who? When? Who gains and who loses? Would COVID-19 have occurred had the senate voted to impeach Trump? The disease was created by a novelist in 1982 although at the time he chose Russia as the source (changed to China in 2008). Did the universe know in 2008 that it would need a disease in 2020?

    And if novelists have this kind of prescience does that mean Steven King has been documenting things that are going to happen?

    One horror story King has not written about is a Biden presidency. Suppose such a concept was beyond the worst horror of his imagination?
