In other words does it matter if its actually real or not as long as it makes you happy, like a placebo if someone is told it is genuine and it makes them feel better despite the fact that it isn't genuine, is this then okay or does this get in the way of progress and blur reality in a way.

Needs to be real. Why would I believe something I knew wasn't real? That's self-delusion.

My feelings are simple, the facts of reality do not change but your perception of reality is the only thing that matters to you, or should matter to you. Your comfort and happiness is essential. If it is achieved via placebo effect that's fine. Desired results achieved!
You can heal yourself and change your life with simply your thoughts and that is definitely progress.

i think delusion is a good thing for humans.. if we knew the reality of how pointless everything is, i don't think we would get very far.
weather its a false belief in your accomplishments , god, or whatever. its all the same.
we need to pretend that things are worth doing other wise we wouldn't do anything..
thats why scientists go crazzy

who's reality is it anyways? sane and insane could easily switch places depending on who is in the majority. But, each to their own I suppose,just remember it can be a double-edged sword sometimes.

Reality. I base my beliefs on what I witness and comprehend.
