If everything we experience is a hallucination, then we should use psychology to engineer a just and useful hallucination. For example, we should hallucinate trans people as closer to their preferred gender presentation.

We also need to consider the fact that rich people have spent so much money on controlling the media, they've definitely discovered how to use this power for evil. Our perceptual reality has already been manipulated by billionaires.

They already have. Is called "propaganda", or "the narrative".
