I could go on about the conflicting dualities of the value of the individual's perspective and the importance of the collective, the infantilism of "this sucks, burn it down", "no I don't have a solution, I'm just mad", and the parallel absurdity of trans humanism and engineering the organic system of society...

I really wonder how the contents of this article relate to Donald Hoffman's ideas about reality being an illusion, whereby evolution hides the real world from us. In my mind would effectively annull the principles on which philosophy bases it's theories? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reYdQYZ9Rj4
