    That is a new one for me. How is the concept different from "accepting reality"?

    I gave up religion as a child (along with other childish things) but perhaps there are other areas it could still apply for me.

      Actually, I am a little confused.

      I understand the idea of channeling your energy more proactively (as opposed to dwelling on a problem or bad experience) but what does that have to do with Einstein's views on god or how much of our digital lives we own?

      At first, I thought you were suggesting we put our energy into taking ownership of our digital media. That's fine but the idea that perception != reality seems tangential in that case.

        Not sure I'm on board with that. Einstein's method of questioning the universe lead us to understand the relationship between energy and matter. It cannot be overstated how important this has been for our species. Whatever train of logic (or stubbornness) allowed Einstein to stumble upon his theories is not one I or you or anyone else is qualified to critique, imo.

          You absolutely can critisize anyone you want. Perhaps the example involving Einstein doesn't really hit home for me but I do understand your larger point. Cheers.
