When I saw this I thought of the age-old question, "If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" I think the answer to the philosophical question would be an obvious 'Yes' because a sound is not dependent upon a person to hear it to happen. Something doesn't need to be experienced by you in particular for it to happen in real life. This is like, "If two people were having a conversation in a different room and I didn't hear it, did they make a sound?" The answer is obvious. Philosophers would say different though.

I think that our minds work in overdrive when we want something. We plan it out. We think about ways to make it happen. Other people can help out if we talk to them. My point here is our minds plan action, at least when we want it enough.
