Creating Your Own World: A Guide to Fantasy and Reality
Creating your own world and moving into it can be fun. In fact, most of us do it. The question is: what kind of world are you creating? For many, it's a deeply personal space; for others, it's a shared vision. But no matter how you construct it, the nature of your world has profound implications.
Take, for example, the MAGA fantasy. A significant number of people bought into it and moved right in. They built a worldview rooted in nostalgia and slogans, often overlooking inconvenient truths. And then, there are the so-called "normal" people. But really, are there such things as truly normal people? Kadizzle, an astute observer of humanity, might spot a few, but even they can get lost in their own fantasy realms.
The trick is knowing what is fantasy and what is not. That’s easier said than done, especially in a world flooded with misinformation, personal biases, and echo chambers. When creating your world, aim for something grounded and believable—but not just believable to you. A world that’s believable to only one person can lead to isolation or even danger. Similarly, a world designed to appeal to a specific crowd, like the MAGA movement, might gain followers but often at the expense of truth and shared understanding.
So, how do you build a world that works? Here are a few tips:
1. **Anchor Your World in Reality**
Start with facts and shared truths. Build your beliefs on a foundation that withstands scrutiny and engages constructively with differing perspectives.
2. **Be Open to Growth**
Your world doesn’t have to be static. Allow it to evolve as you learn more and gain new experiences. Stubbornness is the enemy of progress.
3. **Invite Others In**
A world is richer when shared. Invite diverse voices into your space and let their perspectives challenge and refine your vision.
4. **Be Mindful of Who You Sell It To**
Whether you’re selling your world to yourself, your friends, or a larger community, consider the implications. Will your world promote understanding, cooperation, and growth? Or will it foster division and delusion?
At the end of the day, the world you create reflects who you are. Make it a world worth living in—for you and for those who choose to join you.

Insanity - well ok... Something I learned a long time ago. "You can never argue with a crazy mind - you ought to know by now." You want nostalgia? Well, 4 years ago is not nostalgia. https://youtu.be/8buJ2-oD02E?si=f-D3K4cK6gJzQhLa

Inconvenient Truth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXMarwAusY4&list=PL1A6E2D304D264F58
a hoax. What the hell kind of inconvenient truth is YOUR crazy mind referring to?
Insanity might be fun for the crazy person, not so for the rest of us.
