I've been weaning myself off the mentality of randomness and hidden significance. I've given it a good shot but all it's led to is psychotic thinking, delusions, and wasted time. Not a single benefit. I think God rewards effort, not random lottery, meaning that I think thoughts that are carefully iterated on based on careful logos are what end up bringing us value. The rest ends up being a sea of noise and even if you get a kernel of knowledge out of chaos and fiction, it's far less efficient than if you had taken the path of logos and reality.

Alchemists existed for hundreds of years mixing random trash into vials, drinking urine, not getting anywhere because they were being too chaotic and not iterative. Once the scientific method and idea of control variables became more common, alchemists refined their craft by iterating one thing at a time. One chemical, one temperature, one pressure, finding what combinations work and what don't work. Nuclear chemistry and precise mathematics is how we learned how to create gold out of iron, not random chance or divine inspiration. There are 8 billion people, I think the random "rare" insights end up being low-hanging fruit that one random person finds easily and then shares if it has utility. It ends up being less dazzling than a thoughtform engineered with effort.

But hey, going to your initial premise: I do not find reality to be artificial, dream-like, or deceptive. It is naturalistic, firm, and consistent. As a corollary, magic works on very difficult directed willpower and effort, not finding hacks and keys stumbled upon in a haze. Newton's ideas were too complex for random chance and half-assed effort to produce. The very concept of calculus is infinitesimal iteration and doing it manually takes an insane amount of work, it's not something someone would randomly discover. Most feats of math and science are that way.
