If there's no separate self then it seems to me it only makes sense to just pull the wool over one's 'own eyes so to speak and relax in the safety of one's own delusions while letting everyone else do the same. This way the delusion will simply just unravel of its own accord (the universe itself will do the unraveling). Trying to pit your delusion against that of an 'other' only causes the illusion of separateness to become more persistent (there is no 'other' to convince of your position, but acting as though there is makes it seem more 'real' that there's another person out there who's opinions are so dumb that "I" can't continue to live in the world another day until I correct his or her ignorant ass on twitter [or Xitter or whatever it's called now]).
If there are separations that are in some sense real then I guess this description would need some revising.
