Self-fulfilling Belief

The trouble is that the beliefs that the pill will make you better or that shares will rise have a content: there is something that you believe. But does B have a genuine content? In the other cases believing is not the same as what you believe, but in the case of B the believing is its own content. What is this B you are believing? we may ask. The answer that I am believing B may seem no answer at all. At the very least we have a degenerate case of belief, if it can count as a case of belief at all. And if we don’t have a case of genuine belief here, B is not a case of self-fulfilling belief after all.
