I think this final part does a fantastic job of repackaging your prior theses and staking out a way forward, for not only your future essays and fiction but for others who can understand this way of seeing things and want to follow. "The unreal can shape the real"--this paragraph is the most succinct and pointed wrap-up I've seen for such a massive topic, and it rings very true. The stories that we tell ourselves about the world *can* change the way the world is. We have agency in what kind of reality we inhabit. Not to say that it will be easy, that it will come without pain or difficulty, but it can be done, and it's an effort worth trying to make.
You're doing the work right now of cutting back the brush from the path. Now with a clear trail to look down, I can't wait to see what's coming next.

Absolutely stellar, once again, as always.
