"Once I believe it's water, I'm glad what goes down my throat isn't just a
belief. Beliefs, expectations, observations, or words won't quench my
thirst, or feed the starving masses."
Faith in Jesus's fishes and loaves fed the starving masses. That sort of
faith isn't something that happens everyday though, most people aren't
beleved to be messiahs capable of miracles. Regarding your thirst, do
patterns of value quench it? If so, what is it you believe a pattern of
value to be? I didn't realize they were water-based.
"Anyway, nobody believes chickens lay eggs only when someone is looking."
That's the point. That's why they seem to have laid eggs when no one was
looking. In fact (no, not in fact, but philosophically speaking), while no
one was looking, the chickens didn't even exist materially. To exist,
something has to be experienced, the experience (quality) creates the
observer and the observed. Their existence during the time between
experiences is filled in by our beliefs, which are also dictated to us by
quality and experience. The primary belief we have is SOM, that chickens
really exist when we aren't looking.
