Esse est percipi
To be is to be perceived
George Berkeley, Irish Anglican bishop and philosopher (1685-1753)
Interpretations
Brand existence follows Berkeley's principle - products exist in consumer consciousness or not at all. Markets increasingly trade in perception rather than substance: meme stocks, NFTs, viral products demonstrate how perceived value creates real economic power. The attention economy transforms Berkeley's metaphysics into market reality: attention becomes the currency of existence.
