The modern lifestyle, with boring and fake jobs and soycial media, people spend lots of idle time in idle fantasy.

@luke Back to the stoic saying "everything in moderation, including moderation". This also applies to imagination and self-reflection.Having too little imagination can also be overdone. Imagine having a society that promotes being "suspicious of ALL imagination". Most people would not question the status quo. People who do would be ostracised.The wet dream of any tyrant (material or spriritual).As a side note, I would be curious how the Orthodox think about Mathematics, which (at least from an intuitionistic perspective) is a pure product of imagination.

@supreme_neet@kraut.zone Following the cartoonish notion of “imagination is your greatest gift” into adulthood directly leads to drag queen degeneracy and trans identity lunacy. Imagination is only as harmless as the imaginer is innocent. Luke somehow didn’t know this yet, which surprises me a bit because it’s been blatantly obvious even from later childhood on: Recall of the annoying children who are “creative” and like to think of themselves as “imaginative” – and they all turn out gay or otherwise demonically corrupted. Fantasy people are suspicious. However, I also didn’t fully realise this before I was 27 either and maybe I just happened to live in an environment where that’s been more obvious.@luke By the way, Luke, “dreamless sleep” isn’t really a thing; a healthy man always dreams in his sleep, he just doesn’t always remember it. And so in your dreams, you will or will not be affected by demons regardless of whether you remember it or not, regardless of whether you had a “dreamles sleep” or not. A possible way of dealing with demons coming for you in your sleep is perhaps to practise lucid dreaming, that is gaining and retaining awaraness while dreaming. I haven’t (successfully) tried it yet, but the idea is to gain control over your dreams so to banish the demons arising in them.I also think that one can again qualify the general message here as well (as other commenters did): I think it’s really *fantasy* and not *imagination* that is harmful. Mathematics for instance requires a certain imagination which is qualitatively very different from fantasy. Is there anything evil about mathematics? Imagination is the ability and process to form mental images at your will. Fantasy is the tendency or practise to indulge in thoughts and concepts that are not real.What do you think of that, Luke? By the way, aren’t you interested in a bit of conversation about these things that you talk about in your videos? I rarely see you respond to comments, which I think is a bit of a pity.

@z @supreme_neet It is precisely this theme of the harm of fantasy that is covered in my most favorite and recommended to all children's and grown-ups' book: The Neverending Story. To this day I get goosebumps of enchantedness as I think of it. But notably the novel seeks to instruct the reader how to be wisely moderate in one's fantasy as to be able to draw real-world inspiration, experience and motivation for factual works. It's nothing short of amazing in its use of metaphors and allegories.

@luke@videos.lukesmith.xyz If not imagination, what do you think distinguishes humans from other animals?

@obecpactet@mk.phreedom.club Dignity and Free Will. And I don't think he thinks any imagination is evil/demonic, just the ones that are "making us feel good" while we're not achieving anything because of it.
