    Oh, that quote is good. Except the last sentence. If everybody would stop believing in cars, they would still exist.

      Those objects would still exist, but they wouldn’t be recognized as manifestations of the same category “car”. And they are quite different from each other, just look at electric vs gas, and vs motorcycles which somehow aren’t cars.

      Cars don’t randomly start up and drive themselves yet. If everyone were to stop believing in cars, they’d just become mythical objects that litter the world but are of no one’s concern.
