Oh, so you are asserting that the current state of misery and suffering is dichotomously unreal compared to narcissism? Here is the thing, I don’t distinguish between real and fake except under the context of two conditions, what religious framework I am using and what universe I am interacting with. [1] My options are between being a starving soulless parasite and a satiated soulless parasite. I can’t distinguish between my current “fake” emptiness and your proposed “true” emptiness. I am not content with my current low caste, low status, low income, life of cleaning up after other people, in whatever shape shifting variant it takes form as. I fake it because I do need the money and I don’t have the support of being extraordinary or having an old boy network to support me, and I was told my best chances of changing thing was if I was already content.
