The idea that “things don’t exist when we stop believing in them” is something that most of us outgrow at an early age.

Object permanence applies to tangible objects, basically things explained by physics and constituted from energy.

A nation is a construct of collective imagination, much like religion and economics.

National patriotism is a religion which worships dirt.
