but i explained didnt i. if u had the ability to change your surrounding then other people wud be affected by it. but how can that be if those people themselves can change their surroundings too? neither u nor the people then will be in the affect of THEIR fate. plus the statistical examples i gave u make it impossible for it to happen everywhere. so your left with either living in a rather random world wherereal people and things outside yourself do exist or being locked away in a world of your own making where other entities do not exist. atleast that is how the argument seems to boil down to me.
