Creepy Control Fantasies
Case study Steven Jarvis: Disconnecting your mind from reality
There is reality. There is fantasy. There is fiction. There is delusion. And there is Steven Jarvis’ mind.
Jarvis on Twitter
Well, let’s look at Jarvis’ Twitter account:
Oh, sorry, not that current one, I mean before he got banned (by conspirator0 who is controlling Twitter and a sock of Elon Musk in his mind, or something).
Well, when making obviously stupid comments on Twitter, then many people will tell you that in clear words. And if you have no good counter-argument, then you feel powerless. I get that.
Control fantasies
So what is Jarvis’ solution? Rethinking his arguments? Learning something about how geometry and shadows work? No! There’s a much better solution!
Drum roll, please!
It was all part of his smart grand plan! It was his plan from the beginning that everyone thinks he felt powerless! He are the hero in his story.
In Jarvis’ mind, he controls everything! The whole world is playing his game based on his rules! And if reality does not match what is going on in his mind, then reality is wrong.
Reality
Well, sadly, even his imaginary success as game player decades ago is only made up.
In reality, Jarvis has no job for multiple years now, was banned from Twitter and Medium, and is obviously frustrated that nobody takes him seriously. Not even his idol Jim Stewartson, who emphasizes that he does not know Jarvis.
Instead of fixing his life, we chooses to live in his fantasy world and to harass people.
Jarvis knows very well that he produces bs
The thing is: He knows exactly the shithole he drove himself into. And that he was banned from Twitter because of “spam and manipulation”. Otherwise, after conspirator0 (in his mind) banned him on Twitter and Medium, he wouldn’t engage in cheap revenge actions in is tiny dirty Substack sandbox.
Being wrong - but not being bothered by it
The fun thing is: Jarvis couldn’t be more wrong about who reported him on Twitter. He will never know what really happened.
But that would be reality. He is only interested in what is going on in his mind anyway. Outside reality? Never heard about that one.
