Thoughts are product of our mind. They are unreal and yet have powerful influence over us.
That thoughts do not exist outside our awareness does not make them ‘unreal’, as brain functions and experiences most certainly are relative to the state of having existence or substance.

The word salad does not seem to be saying anything other that what has already been said.
Ok they are not material and do not have an existence such as the brain does. They exert a powerful force on our actions, yet they can be controlled, changed, and silenced. They are as unreal as rainbows.

That they aren’t material does not mean they aren’t real as thoughts are relative to the functioning of one’s (real) brain and experiences but, most importantly, to one’s demonstrable actions as well. Thought (or opinion) is essentially meaningless sans applicability of such; point being, measurability (as in a Critical Thinking Test).

As I said they are as real or unreal as rainbows. You just keep repeating what has already been stated only with less coherence.

A Critical Thinking Test (relative to the reality/measurability of thought) had not been previously mentioned nor does the concept lack clarity. You’re stuck on rainbows.
- man is controlled by the brain
- but not mind
- the mind is like scientists in a social organism
- Is the social organism controlled by scientists?
- do scientists have a very strong influence on the behavior of a social organism?
- isn't it the other way around?
Is this the purpose of life? Then it's better to just die))
Die we must. But we can be at peace while we live. People at peace dont cause wars or pain to others.
