Is everything an illusion? The answer is a resounding no, but not for the reason you might expect. If everything is an illusion, then so is the idea that everything is an illusion. Hey, if you like pseudo philosophizing like it's 2:00 AM in a college dorm room, come along. I got more.

Why are you saying that already? We're not done. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Anyway, if everything is an illusion, like everything, then illusion doesn't actually mean anything. Because something can only have meaning in contrast to something different from it. Right. So to say everything's an illusion implies the existence of non-illusion. And is, therefore, self-contradictory. It might feel discombobulating, but if everything's an illusion, there's no difference between illusion and reality.

So what we have here is just a surprisingly compelling question, the answer to which could not be more irrelevant to our lives.
