Itty's Comment

"Pseudo reality" refers to deliberate distortions of reality. Pseudo-reality is a system of interested deceit where the individual who lives in pseudo reality is ready to deceit himself out of his own will. The individual is in a way cheating himself out of his own choice. This is because every in dividual is in one way or more resticted by society. He is a societal being so to say, no matter what he says. Now, one part of him wants to follow the rules set by society or the rules he would normally have followed, but the other part of him wants to set his own rules and definitions of life and this may not be comfortable or acceptable by the other part of him. This other part of him is a dreamer. In order to satisfy the desires of this other part, the individual starts living in a pseudo-real world.

A subset of this set also includes people who are adherents of ideology. They are assumed to be brainwashed, imbued with mind-altering dogmas, and steeped in pseudo-reality. Mudit and Aashish, this is my interpretation of Pseudo-reality. Mudit, lemme know if I am correct.
