The socially imparted, Darwinistically apocryphal incentive to capriciously empower one's self at the imposed expense of disempowering someone else (often in the shadow of entertainment, counter-ennui and humor) may have a lot to do with it.

(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
"Particles give me a headache." - Ibid
