Actually, you saw better than you're giving yourself credit for! I was meaning the creative analogy, and you put that quite well I think. But I can see how your second analogy works, too, but I would say while drug addiction and creative expression are fostered by control, the addict is trying to escape reality more than make their perception of reality real, while the creative individual isn't trying to escape reality so much as bring their fantasies and imagination to life. If control of other people is the objective, then the addict analogy seems more appropriate... but perhaps under the pretense that attendance to the show is optional. For me, the draw isn't control in a general sense, but rather the 'creative control' that the creator has to make fantasy a reality.

I think there is a perception of reality that is being 'manufactured' by QT that makes people think their perceptions designate reality, and that ideas are facts. I like that you bring up the concept of making oneself their own god, I think that's unspoken and intuited by people, and very much why I think TRA and QT are so attractive to people: your perception of reality IS reality!

Well said! Brilliant.

... bring their fantasies and imagination to life. ... your perception of reality IS reality

There are actors who never want to leave the stage, because playing the fiction is so fun. But reality is not our perception of it. A mountain is still a mountain and a river is still a river. Shared delusions might numb, but this is where the addict analogy applies. Everyone around the addicts or those involved in shared delusions are burdens on everyone around them, even their enablers (which are called allies in the woke-land). Ruined lives, ruined reproduction systems, stunted emotional and intellectual growth, and so much more are the fruits from this twisted tree of false-knowledge.

I really think the worst thing that has happened is the internet. The person who finds the reality they are surrounded by ill-fitting find a seemingly vast community of liars lying and misleading them with nonsense. I really think the vast majority can not be happy in the long run regardless of what there appears to be in the short term.

Don't forget really scary instances of this such as in this documentary. I wonder how trans people watch this documentary and what they make of it.

All I can say to that video is: yes, that's it or that's the temptation sometimes.
