So, the whole discussion was ultimately built upon a misunderstanding. Reality itself is immutable and the same for all, what we can change our perception of it, through self-destruction (sensory loss / death) or self-conditioning (beliefs). The first hardly make life any better (unless it was already unbearable) and the second seeds logic bombs in the person's mind, that will trigger when their beliefs clash with the unforgiving reality.

The theory has its merits (softening/livening up our experience), but in practice our margin of action is quite thin (or really short-lived), and the backdraws are massive.

I retrospect that must be why I stick as much as I can the raw facts. Too many strings attached, and too many bombs at their ends.
