f I want that ketchup, then it matters if that bottle exists. It only matters what the mind perceives as real. If I can pour and taste ketchup from a bottle that 'doesn't exist' and believe that I just had ketchup then it doesn’t matter if that bottle is actually real. One must live their life by accepting what they observe as reality.
To play devil's advocate for a moment here though, what if you were attempting to receive nourishment from said ketchup? If the ketchup doesn't exist, then you wouldn't receive nourishment and might die of privation. I think that it isn't a boolean thing at all. It seems as though the entire thing is shades of gray, in that the extent to which it matters is, by its very nature, self-limiting.
By the same token, the extent to which it is limited is derived from dynamic objects as well as, I believe abstracts. That holds true for static objects certainly, but can't the same be said for abstracts, or even for dynamic objects themselves? Any dynamic object derives its meaning from other dynamic objects as well as from abstracts. It is a self-limiting way of perceiving the universe, true, but when your view is limited, musn't your decisions be as well?
