I'm with you so far. What I'm missing is how you can say that belief is a real thing, but

What you or I believe is irrelevent. It's what there is that matters.

That's where you have me confused. If a belief is an "advanced and settled" thought, it can't be irrelevant. It's only irrelevant if it's some kind of random neural misfire based on bad information (which is what I got from your previous posts - that 'belief' in something is intellectual dishonesty).
