    Fantastic, this provides another teachable moment for you! 😀

    My comment presented something called a hypothetical situation. It is an example of how particular circumstances can lead to a specific outcome. The key takeaway is that–and I recognize this can be confusing!–it does not make any claims outside the details contained within the hypothetical.

    This answers both of your questions, but let me make it easy for you: I don’t, and because I made these circumstances be true in this hypothetical situation.

      Even if it is an illusion created by the brain, does that make it any less existent?

        If your brain creates the illusion of a unicorn, then the presence of the illusion is real, even if the unicorn is not.
