I see you. That makes sense. I struggle with the grayness of reality and the duality of definitions we impose on it yk? Not to say I'm against the definitions, just that things get confusing for me. Like Matter is just energy, how close does matter/energy have to be to call a perturbation in that system a quasi particle. And, if we think the the fundamental fields physically exist then are they made of anything, and if so wouldn't they likely be made of some type of energy? Is that energy close enough to call our fundamental particles quasi particles?
Nothing is real. No concept you hold is concrete, actual reality. Our brains weren't built to mold perfectly to the intricate contours of the universe, they were built to make a fast efficient model that does a bit better than our competitors. So, not only can you always be wrong, everyone is always wrong.
This really helps me give people more leeway and understanding. It helps me be kinder, and helps me take the time to understand others more.
