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.
Programs
Everything is a program. The concepts of I, an entity, a human being, family. The perception of moving forward in distance and progress.
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. But in your current point of view you might be experiencing it as new information1.
Contradiction
Everything contradicts itself.
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
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.
