It´s an old (mostly unconcious) intellectual fraud in few easy do it yourself steps:

1. Either
1. A Rename as "reality" what is in the scope of your individual experience (or the one of your group of belonging)-
1. B Rename as "reality" what is consistent with the narrowness of "common sense".
1. C Rename as "reality" what you find to be intuitive, simple enough for you to "understand".
1. D Rename as "reality" what is "logic" previously renaiming as "logic" what is merely convincing word rethoric.
1. E Rename as "reality" your inner (or social) subjective knowledge, perception, thought, feelings.

2. Done the above, get surprized when such believes do not work as expected. That is, when what are representations don´t describe and the map draws a river where there is none.

3. Say: "Reality" is just an illusion.

That´s all folks!
@ElRengo Thank you for that piece of Reality
