Shownotes

Desire does not stay the size it begins.

It expands — not because reality changes, but because imagination does.

This episode explores fantasy inflation: how imagined desire grows beyond evidence, distorts expectation, and quietly raises the emotional cost of wanting. What begins as anticipation often ends as disappointment, exhaustion, or restlessness.

Fantasy inflation is not a moral failure.

It’s a structural one.
