A good number of things can be fundamentally explained by understanding that everything is made up.
"Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust."
The absurdity
…
Someone’s idea
Everything is someone’s idea. The ideas that make up a civilization. Things professed and held on to dearly even when originally offered as a suggestion.
Access to information
You’re reading a classic and you find out that it first appeared in 1908. Meaning it was there before you were born. Unless you are over 117 years old. But in your current point of view you might be experiencing it as new information1.
Contradiction
The contradictory nature of supposedly logical information.
Ancient civilizations with advanced technology
There were people before that had technology that now would seem like something out of a sci-fi movie. They might consider today’s cutting edge as barbaric.
Base reality
Since people don’t know what base reality is, the speculation is that it’s nothingness. A nothingness that has always existed. Has no end or beginning. The day to day tends to be a collectively and continually agreed upon hallucination. Even logic and morality don’t apply as one would like to think.
To each his own hallucinations. None greater, none lesser.
