Oh, precisely, I'd never argue that we can escape it. Philosophy is the vehicle we have to make our consciousness able to navigate reality.

A point that I'd try to put some light on, is that, among many dangers, we can get lost in false worldviews that trap our consciousness in apparently true realities that are ultimately false by a delicate house of cards/lies/mistakes.

The Matrix, or more appropriately, Plato's Cave, made that point infinitely better than I could ever do.
