The difference between what is virtual a dream or a reality is narrowing. Elon musk (like many others) thinks that. we are in a simulation. By that definition whatever we experience is an illusion. But does calling everything an illusion makes it real or illusion?

We dream when we are asleep, and when we are awake we call that a reality. Are they. both different forms of illusion.

What differentiates our illusion from what we call a reality. Our actions and the feedback we get to our senses what if they are illusions as well as they are nothing but firing up of neurons in a black box we call cranium.

The only way we can differentiate between one or other type of illusions is how we engage with others things and beings and how others things and beings engage with us back.

The experience with other things and beings help us measuring the extent of illusion we may be in.

Perhaps if we change how we think about things and beings our experiences will change. If our experiences become positive the interactions. and outcomes we produce will change to positive.

Illusion or not it will make everyone’s life better.
