29. If something can be, even if no one knows about it, then it is real.
For example, there are probably insects humans don't know about yet, but they still exist. There are probably planets we don't know about yet, but they still exist.

This isn't semantics. Governments are make believe. They don't exist anymore than celestial virgins exist. Both governments and celestial virgins affect the world in real ways, but they are only in our imaginations.
