True, but the ego is just as "real" and worthy of observation as anything else at that point. I don't see it as silly... I see it as human

The ego has an advantage. It is static, and can be known & observed. Your being is dynamic, and the only way to "know" it is to live it.

I don't separate the two, I'm not sure I can know my ego.

An ego is not a thing you can live, It's always after-the-fact. It's like a subtitles on daily life, you look at that and miss the movie.

The fact that the ego can never be fulfilled is precisely the reason why it appears to have some reality when it obviously does not.

Reality is just a conceived model for describing existence and existing (I know you know this but....)

Wittgenstein is, to my knowledge, the only Western philosopher to have concluded that whatever we say about reality is not reality.

I use the words differently because the opposite of reality is fantasy -- what Wittgenstein et al. call "reality" I call "existence"

That's also why I think reality/fantasy should be thought of as models
