  The part with the neighbors was more or less only a joke. If i believe anything about them, then that they are good, honest and peacefull people. Because so far nothing happend to make be think otherwise.

  The belief that the neighbors will kill someone (oneself for example) sounds more like a delusion… or a really bad neighborhood In both cases is a counter belief maybe not the best solution

    It was just an example.

    My point is the specific utility of beliefs. You seemed to be offering an interesting one.

    Imagine a landscape made of beliefs. In it you are always standing on some bunch of beliefs. So choosing and navigating is going to be important. To get to the good beliefs and avoid the bad ones.

      The landscape should have some strong pillars and mountains of hard facts and factual truth. But besides that, yes it sounds like a good mind construct. Interesting idea for sure.
