A great deal of technical philosophical literature has piled up on problems relating to the existence of things. Many metaphysical thinkers are busily concerned with the fact that things which do not really exist have begun to dominate us more and more. The plight of the average man is understandable. A man can understand why he is hungry when a fox has run off with his hen but will wonder how a wheat-level statistic can have an appetite. Undeniably it has, because there is a food surplus while millions starve and what is this if not a statistical appetite? Surely it is only a common-sense judgment that when a statistic eats more than a fox it is at least as real as Reynard if not more so.
