A better category to describe the actions of many who live in an abundantly prosperous world, and have the means to act with this one goal in mind every moment of the day.
"That we perceive objects directly is a powerful illusion, but an illusion nonetheless."
I disagree with this use of the word 'illsuison'. It fhe contructed 'image' in are brain is representation of something 'outthere' it's not an illusion.
If you see a truck speeding past, it's best not to step in front of it under the illusion it is an 'illusion'.
Some theoretical physicist have said 'time is an illusion'. This seems silly to me. Just because it may be built on top of some deeper structure doesn't make it an 'illusion'. A house is not an inllusion because it's made of bricks and a brick is not illusiond because it's made of molecules. If somebody throws a brick at you duck.
So there was no soul for Cyrenaics? Or that trying to grasp what a soul is can not be possible. Because no matter the combination of our senses and experience it is, the soul, does not exist in this world? Never heard of these guys before, thank you.
