Being disenchanted with reality and turning to fantasy is a normal human response, but it's far from enlightened.

What are you talking about fantasy? Why are you assuming that fantasy is the only recourse and that there aren't enlightened alternatives? I can't claim to hold some answer but certainly it's more enlightened to maintain a position of modest uncertainty than to exclaim "Everyone but me is living in a fantasy! Nobody else can handle the truth!"
