RE: Escaping Reality
No, purpose and meaning doesn't have to be linked to the basic needs of food, shelter, sex... lol. Those are lower basic goals for survival, not evolution in consciousness ;)

lol - no, I realize it doesn't have to be related.
?????
My point was that the further away from these basics you go, the more abstract it becomes (evolution in consciousness?)
So to make these purposes as real as possible, requires a self induced 'fooling of oneself', to 'make it' as real as possible.
But it never will be - it never can be.
Food shelter sex is the reality, the rest is degrees of a self convincing argument forcing other purposes to take the mantle of 'just as real'.
....you see what I mean?
Still don't mean to be nihilistic....
