Bumper Sticker "Wisdom"
I saw this slogan on the bumper of a car this morning: Some Things Exist Whether Or Not You Believe In Them. It was black with an eldritch white script. Made me think of something a neo-pagan or wiccan would sport.
I usually don't parse bumper stickers too closely, but this one really got the neuronic flywheel spinning. I'm sure it was meant to assert a reality beyond this one, whether or not you believe in it. But if you take it literally, it really describes nothing mystical at all.
I mean, the Internet exists, whether or not I believe in it.
And that table exists, whether or not I believe in it.
Her car exists, whether or not I believe in it.
You get the idea. I guess you could just say that existence exists, whether or not you believe in it.
