A little about objective world vs. imaginary world. Fuck I don't know what to say. I had this speech preparing in my head and now that I'm trying to express it in words it's all gone... Gaining power in objective world (like learning martial arts, law, or manipulative tactics people often employ against each other) makes you more likely to win a conflict, but that means that others are also more likely to lose a conflict, so that others become weaker and suffer more.
Gaining power in imaginary world (creating an imaginary friend, working with underdeveloped aspects of one's personality, mostly things to fulfill fantasies that are impossible/too hard to fulfill in objective world) doesn't hurt others. If you imagine beating the shit out of someone, that someone doesn't experience pain. Imagining is about satisfying personal wants/needs without stomping on others.
The power of imagination can be shared without hurting those who didn't recieve this power (video games, movies, books, drawings). Sharing power in objective world makes others more powerful, and more likely to win conflicts, which means that their enemies (and conflicts in objective world are inevitable) lose power, lose conflicts, suffer more. (Mostly education and nurturing, like teaching someone self-defense/offense, proper nutrition, treating diseases, teaching logic, economics, psychology, etc..)
I understand that imagination won't work for everyone. While objective world has fluctuating difficulty (depends on the attributes of other people, enemies are changing, as well as their individual attributes), the difficulty of imaginary world seems to be more fixed. (You don't have enemies that also become stronger, and are in conflict with you.) Some people who aren't fit for RL battles might be better off retreating to the imaginary, and opposite might be true as well.
