    If there is no captivity, there is no freedome, hence no nirvana. Like if there is no light, there is no darkness, cause you always have to compare what you observe to something that it isnt.So if nirvana/freedome can be observed it can be done only through its correlation to non-nirvana/captivity. Removing non-nirvana would result removing nirvana as well, cause you cannot experience one without the other.

    physical survival yes indeed needed, as the basis of human existence is survival. but psychological survival or psychological fear, do we need to sustain it?

    values, beliefs, norm, conditioning, behavior. Values are certainly relative as they are human creation

    He's talking about the scope of perception. "Ultimate reality" isn't a suitable phrase though. The intellectual perception is just as (un)real as the direct, animal one. The latter seems to be way more enjoyable though, so why not dwell in it :)

    It is interesting that Buddhist as well as some others, say that perception is an illusion. So if someone pulls a gun at me, that's an illusion too???
    I think, perception should be considered as a part of the whole reality. One should accept the part as well as the whole. Why?
    There seems to be some buddhist teaching others to reject ideas, notions, concepts, et cetera... Let us be careful and balanced! AS HUMANS, WE NEED ALWAYS TO HAVE CONCEPTS AND IDEAS IN ORDER TO SURVIVE
