I think that anything in excess is detrimental, including detachment. Aristotle advocated everything in moderation. What purpose would it serve to be so detached that you feel nothing?
The bottom line is that whatever we believe reality to be, we are experiencing life collectively in
this context. Even if we were in a bubble and reality was outside the bubble, rightly or wrongly, if all we knew was the bubble, we would still have to live within the context of the bubble. So any
reality beyond what we can comprehend is irrelevant because it's not real for us.
