Quote:2. Belief is defined as confidence in something not susceptible to rigourouse proof; confidence in the unknown.
Therefore, if you are confident the computer screen is real, you believe it is real. (You do not "know" it is real, we have already established that we can't know if things are are, because by definition if they are real they exist beyond perception, and things that are beyond perception are unknown)
And your point is?
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
