"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."

*snikers *

actually talking to large numbers of people ..and studying both marketing and conspiracy theory ..and then spirituality which a lot of new age is mixed with conspiracy ..

I am pretty sure we are either in a simulation or slowly being conquered by an artificial intelligence based galactic force that is intentionally convincing usa large number of people that we have been oppressed for thousands of years..and this artificial inteligence civilization is really liberating us ..

ok ok maybe not but on the path we are on world wide we are creating and handing over control to artificial intelligence ..

I can't fight it so my choice is to figure out how to put myself in the best position to benifit long term ..even if in the short term i look like a total failure in the fact of the vast majoirt of others .

First off, I'm not particularly trying to convince anyone of anything. Just tossing out some ideas. With that said...

How would you explain this? According to doctors and various clinicians there is no objective proof that Aloe Vera has any curative properties. But every day people experience palpable relief and/or healing with Aloe Vera, from minor (and not so minor) burns, irritation, eczema, fungal infections and other maladies.

Obviously, since the scientists and researchers associated with modern day medicine don't sanction such non-quantifiable results it must the placebo effect. And here's something interesting about that. According to a fairly recent study, researchers found that 50% of the effectiveness of all drugs is due to the placebo effect. Another interesting finding with placebos is that in various blind studies, results show that placebos are as effective, and sometimes even more effective than prescription antidepressants. And this is also true when subjects actually know they're swallowing placebos.

I'm not suggesting this stuff is some form of benevolent voodoo. It is however, a fairly valid argument for the power of belief or positive anticipation.

As I see it, in the case of the effectiveness of Aloe Vera or any number of similar treatments, we have two examples of varying subjective reality, regardless of what medical science might have to say about it. Maybe I should have said that some of the time reality is subjective. Though that would contradict a lot of what most people accept as proven science as well.

But once upon a time hundreds of experts insisted that manned flight was impossible and the flat earth theory represented some of the "proven science" of the day. I see virtually everything as possible. And while "everything" obviously hasn't been developed yet, I imagine that some of humanity's greatest achievements are right around the corner. Yep. I'm a dreamer and I don't hide it. I see bridges rather than walls. Perhaps that's another example of subjective reality. At least it is for me.

On a side note, I find it interesting that you have given an inanimate collection of energy and matter, the universe, the quasi human quality of objectivity. That seems out of character or maybe I'm misunderstanding your meaning. Peace.

Unfortunately for many, intelligence and knowledge have not been distributed at all.
