   Even if there were a "reality" apart   
   modeling/representation of it, surely the worst   
   possible approach to knowing/experiencing it directly   
   would be via an idea (which right off the bat is more   
   modeling/representation) of an individual/self that wants   
   (i.e. lacks) it to be a certain way.   
      
   Surely the hopelessness of that scenario is   
   self(haha)-evident?   
      
   And surely an entire species consumed with/by doing   
   precisely that is quite possibly the saddest -   
   whilst simultaneously most hilarious - thought such   
   a self/individual could mentally entertain (aka   
   model/represent)?
