The coffee table is not proclaiming “I love when coffee cups sit on me”. It has no eggo to do that.

Based on watching the short video, by "hallucination" he means that the textbooks don't represent the reality of cell biology, not that cell biology is a hallucination. He uses the word "hallucination" to say that it's false.

And you are hallucinating that interpretation and this is my interpretation of your hallucination that I am now hallucinating.

Yes. Either false or such an insane simplification that it barely reflects reality. A reminder of how disconnected our conceptual models are.

Yet I still find biochemistry fascinating. I've been watching lectures on it recently as part of exploring what might become my new life purpose in a few years.

I still struggle with the temptation of going down the scientific rabbit hole sometimes, while intelectually knowing that true complexity can't be fully grasped rationally. Anyway, what would be the alternative, if my passion is related to health and biology?

Bro, if even Space and Time is being Hallucinated what to say about cells. Remembering is not the ego that is hallucinating since ego is also hallucination.
