If we strip it all down and remove all the bias, what is reality? Is Nirvana awaiting us, or will we awaken Cthulhu from his sleep?

(If the Chandogya Upanishad is to be disregarded on the grounds that it's a religious text, then so is Zapffe's Last Messiah. So is a lot of "Depressive Realist" literature.)
