You probably found it uninspring because you don't understand it sufficiently, the point of it is that the man able to leave *shouldn't* be concerned with breaking everyone else out, they'll just be blinded or immediately try to kill that man. Instead, that man should be concerned with whether to puppeteer or not unless they notice someone else able to break out on their own.

"Food analogy" is a meme but they are often good for their purpose. I assume people whine about them because they are some sort of cheat in debates.

The guy making the shadows is screwing your mom. Mistaking the shadows for reality is the equivalent of you sitting in the cuck chair being forced to watch.
