If a tree falls does it make a sound? Of course… But if no one hears it does it matter?

Does the fact that it exists/ has existed/ will continue to exist, inherently make the tree important? (Does it still matter?)

If no one ever hears my thoughts, were they real? If I write down everything, does someone have to read it?

I put my old notebooks and sketchbooks in a chest and poured bronze on it, throwing the existence of the notebooks into question like Schrodinger’s Cat.
