Almost anyone talks and probably thinks about the Universe as something material. People like to say that the Universe is expanding, for example. I think that is wrong. The Universe is not expanding, the vacuum is. We are able to see the expansion, because there are other things, like galaxies that do not expand.
I see the Universe as an abstract. It is a set. A set of all sorts of things we can interact with. It also contains rules that govern the interactions. The Universe do not exist except as a meme, what exists are the things that surround us.
What do you think about that idea?
PS: I've found out I didn't express my question properly. The question was about the genre. Given the fact you do not know if a specific movie is good or not and only knowing its genre is Horror, would you prefer to watch it over some other movie you also only know its genre. I.e. is the genre Horror one of the top genres that will make you want to watch the movie.
