Eliminativism

Eliminativism is a big word that means some people believe that certain things we talk about and think are not real or true. It's like if you play a game of make-believe where you pretend to be a wizard or a princess, but when the game is over, you know that it was just a game and not real.

In the case of eliminativism, people think that certain ideas or concepts we use to describe the world, like ghosts or souls or even some mental illnesses, are just made up and not real. They argue that we should not use these words or concepts because they do not reflect the reality of the world around us.

It's important to note that not everyone agrees with eliminativists, and there are many debates about whether certain ideas or concepts are real or not. However, the idea of eliminativism is just one way that some people try to understand the world and the things we talk and think about.
