- People often have idols of themselves in their hearts and minds, and spend their time trying to get others to recognize them as those idols (semantic-objects).
- People often have ugly and beautiful concepts and images of themselves in their minds, which they want to use to make deals and trades with other people, as ugly and beautiful images.
- People often have both ugly and beautiful concepts and images of themselves in their minds, which serve as reminders and replacements for their self, much like idols do for God, to evoke and replace their self with dead things (semantic objects).
- People play antagonist and villain idols (thought-things) that perform competitive roles in their minds, supposedly influencing the outcomes of their projected final idols (semantic-objects) in their un-enduring and unshared virtual-reality worlds.
- When people have ugly and beautiful concepts and images of themselves in their minds, they live in their memories of rewritten pasts, debated presents, and projected fragile futures, all of which are false to facts and dreams, or more precisely, delusions.
