Thx for your thoughts and taking the time!

I agree that there is a common-sense vs formal dimension to the concepts we use. Time is so real in a common-sense way that we measure it precisely and we manage a big part of our lives with it.

Free will and it's correct conceptualization is critical for our freedom and political systems.

The same goes for money and its use.

I think that a list of "illusions" is more difficult (and controversial!) than a list of cognitive biases.
