What's the difference between Imaginative Warping and Subjective Reality?
What's the difference between Imaginative Warping and Subjective Reality?
@DYBAD If everyone is a Dreamer, what are the repercussions of that? I'm fascinated by this fictitious scenario!
So am I ^ ^
The outcome turns out to be surprisingly simple, with each Dreamer being the almighty maker/ruler of their own Reality, with all of them existing in complete separation and independence from one another (to each Dreamer, their Reality is all that exist).
Each Dreamer could then do the same with inhabitants of their Reality, thus creating new Realities where each of them is the Dreamer of their own, who could also do the same and so on. In each case, the process would automatically and seamlessly replace the ascended individuals with a non-ascended iteration, making it completely neutral on the Reality of each Dreamer
The process could even be automatized according to predefined rules, all inhabitants of a Dreamt Reality eventually ascending to Dreamer status after X amount of time in reward for the services and entertainment they provided to their creator, and each new iteration that automatically replaces them eventually gaining the same privilege.
Thus everyone can have everything without any side-effect or repercussion ^ ^
@DYBAD That sounds like an excellent utopian society! Sign me up!
At this level we are beyond utopian society and straight into universal perfection, but yes it's something I would really look forward to as well ^ ^
@DYBAD Universal perfection?
Everyone reaching Reality Dreamer status as reward for a lifetime of service is virtually perfect on a global scale both in terms of personal happiness and existential justice, hence my summing it up as "universal perfection" ^ ^
@DYBAD I wish this was a thing in real life! I think the world would be a much better place if everyone had their own reality.
How much better the world would be mostly depends on how good a person each Dreamer is, as the lifetime of service through which Dreamer status is gained can vary quite a lot depending of how well the world's inhabitants are treated in the meantime.
That's particularly true on a statistical level : since each new Dreamer gets a Reality worth of people under their power/care, and each of them individually gets another Reality worth of people down the line, so on and so forth, no matter how many people ascend, at any given time the overwhelming majority will always completely depend on the good graces of an extremely small minority, who may or may not be decent people.
@DYBAD That's a fair assessment. Perhaps we will get lucky and get "good" Dreamers! I can only shudder to think what a bad one would be like!
That would likely be a God is Evil scenario of the worst kind, since such Evil God isn't just the absolute ruler of reality but also its inescapable foundation, making it a completely hopeless nightmare.
Worse yet, its tormented inhabitants would come out terribly twisted by a lifetime of such treatment, and each new Dreamer would become the Evil God of their own hellish Reality, which would lead to countless more, so on and so forth, infinitely and forever.
So yeah, as promising as the concept may be, it comes with a razor-sharp double edge ^ ^;
What do you think?
