The appeal of the fantastic is taking ridiculous ideas very seriously and pretending they're not absurd. When we take silly ideas and put them on a pedestal, we can believe in them with all our heart and all our soul. However, this is something we should avoid at all cost because it leads us to do things we would never do otherwise. When we take ridiculous ideas seriously, we become victims of our own imagination and we become lost in the fantasy.

We cannot escape from the world of fantasy until we come back to reality and understand that what we just thought was real was just a silly idea that had no basis in reality whatsoever. Sometimes, the silliest ideas can be most powerful and can bring about great changes just by bringing people together with similar ideals.
