Indeed and one of them is normally the belief in an objective reality observable and repeatable and reproducible by other people. <atheists also have belief systems, some of which run as deep and wide as any theology, being my point. >

Mystical thinking causes vast carnage and mostly it ends up as an excuse to boss other people around and take their property.

But I do maintain that the cosmos is teleological and we are doing nothing less than building the next phase of consciousness with the cyberspace revolution. Humans will be like the mitochondria in garden-variety brains - do the cleaning and provisioning or whatever they do. It is a symbiotic entity which will have a similar relationship to regular humans now as New York does to chimps living in forests.

Maybe humans will be more like neurons or something [I'd have to check how brains actually work to make it a good analogy]. But however it works, consciousness and observers are intrinsic parts of wave functions and no less than a fifth force of the cosmos, observing and redefining the action of the regular four forces.

Input, consciousness, and output, were not invented simply so that we can brew beer, chase girls, play footy and listen to music. Such activities are not the end state of the development of consciousness.

Heck, already Google's memory is stupendously phenomenal and it is already pretty good at associative thinking.
