I think the most functional way to define illusions would be in relation to the brain percieving something that isn't there, or a series of events that didn't happen, because of misinterpreted or partial information.

The more... philosophical that a definition of illusions gets the less it relates to common usage of the term, and the less it relates to the actual phenomena in any meaningful way.

There once was a dwarf in a cave,
who many would consider brave.
With a head like a block
he went out for a sock,
his ass I won't bother to save.

I think goats is the best answer... Alternatively something weird like that wooly monkey or tree kangoroos.

You can fake being able to run on water. You can't fake looking cool when you break your foot on a door and hit your head on the floor.

Humanity has sought to embrace a belief in "something" for all their existence.  Only when we are well and healthy do we attempt to thrust away the crutch of belief to assume all the glory unto ourselves.  As infirmity and death reach for us, we then grasp again towards belief.  Thus disbelief is an illusion that most can only manage for limited periods of time.

While I disagree, I have loads of respect for the person passing away in their death bed screaming "Nothing Exists Beyond My Death!"

People are bad at being human and good at being themselves. What does that make Men?

Girls with penises.
Men are self-made.  If you say you are a Man, I say "No".  If you insist, you are a Man.

Manhood is embracing individuality and acknowledging their human fragility.

What is something you don't believe in, and what is something you know isn't real?

For example, I don't believe in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but I'm certain acupuncture is bullshit.

Is it useful to believe it isn't real?

Or do the concepts survive for a reason despite themselves?
