Gets back to the old questions, 'the cave', 'Noumenal/Phenomenal'. Humans construct an internal Bayesian like model of the world, that is not itself the 'Real' world. It is a 'Delusion'. And since our brains are just pattern matching, on best guesses. If you feed people a lot of garbage 'IN', it is possible to get people that only spew garbage 'OUT'. Eventually your internal model can be so off base, that others think you are crazy, or living in an 'alternate reality'. You were fed so much garbage your internal state has hard time interpreting anymore. But, it is for everything. What we call 'garbage' changes with time. We no longer think the sun revolves around the earth, but was it 'garbage' back when everyone believed that. Part of our internal model update functions, is trying to adapt to everyone else's internal models. There are very few 'facts' in the world, far more interpretations, and those are all subject to this 'delusion'. (I think what the article is actually saying, is yes, all humans live in an 'illusion', so we should stop saying the word 'delusion' since it is viewed as derogatory for something that happens to everyone. We pick and choose who we say is 'delusional' and stigmatize them, without realizing everyone is in an 'illusion'. And this framing is preventing reaching them to help update the 'delusions').
