Also, in general, it's a lot better to focus on freeing yourself from your own illusions than concentrate too much on someone else's.

That's really well said. +1 for that sentence.

I found it to be incredibly hypocritical coming from Genuine Fantasist.

Come on there Doc, you add a lot of good posts here. Just sayin' so we keep all this civil. Besides which, I'd guess from your posts that you agree with the sentiment expressed, even if you generally disagree with its author. Art from artist, and all that? Maybe delete this one? Be more Doc less Savage?

Not sure where I crossed the line of civility as opposed to being truthful.  He takes a pen name "Genuine Realist" which I suppose means that those who don't agree with his views aren't grounded in the real world?  Then he spouts all kinds of stuff that is verifiably incorrect, yet does his best virtue signaling by saying "it's a lot better to focus on freeing yourself from your own illusions" and certainly doesn't seem directed at himself.  He's saying others have illusions and should be listening to him, the Genuine Realist.  I wouldn't have even commented because I have him on ignore, but the forum is broken so quotes and even the thread review when doing replies show everyone's comments.
