You weren't stuck in a cult. Consensus figurehead reality (CFR) was vying for your attention and you were looking for an escape. Judging by the fact that it helped you defy CFR on the most important life decision (reproduction), you chose wisely.

Also the ruling class discourages reproduction due to the tactic of Parasitic Castration. Raising kids takes money--money that could have been diverted to the ruling class.

Please don't trivialize my experience by making the anecdote support or invalidate pet sociological constructs.

I can't make heads or tails of this and am hoping you could elaborate so I can understand what I'm missing.
