Meh. The problem here, really is that it’s just idiosyncratic use of terms laid over commonplaces.
“Hallucinations” are what exactly? Partially we mean that some is seeing specific things that aren’t “really there,” but what we mean when we say someone is hallucinating is that their perception of reality is a bit warped relative to what we suppose the rest of us are perceiving. A generic “perception of reality and ourselves within that reality” is a) common to both the hallucinator and the purported non-hallucinator; b) they are probably formed by the same process, one which has been pretty heavily influenced by, say, LSD; and c) they probably BOTH have a somewhat fraught relationship with objective reality, however we determine what that is We all probably would have all agreed to this last week, before this particular TEDtervention? Or is my perception of our consensus reality somewhat warped?
