- reality distortion fields occur naturally whenever you have these 3 things:
- very different frames (which is a function of people having had different experiences)
- power differentials (from any kind of power, most commonly charisma and articulateness in our circles but it can be hotness or violent threat or whatever else... and of course includes parent-child power or teacher-student power)
- inability (or disinclination) to differentiate and hold frames and experiences as unique and personal (this is the one where there's actually any leverage, and it's partially about communicating in a way that respects differences in perspective, but before that it's about learning to not lose touch with your own reality when facing someone with a wildly different reality)
- another useful thread re cult dynamics are the default and happen from good intentions aka cult dynamics are one natural attractor in culture space and frame override & reality distortion fields in general
