IMO there are other reasons as well.
For instance qualia are insane delusions
representing sensor inputs and other brain states,
such as "feelings". We literally have "visions".
Many more.

I wonder if you watched the link to the blind artist?

believe that is a cause, and why they dig deeper holes for themselves
but trying to obtain the effects without effort.

entire politic of our time.

I would like to introduce, or re-introduce a too long forgotten theory:

The Double Bind Theory:
