You’re touching upon the very essence of being an actor, which is a form of shamanism of the human experience.

All societies I know of developed actors and forms of theatre. Why? Because they are essential, I suspect.

Was?

Now it's all about profit, it seems. Theatre was about the self-reflection of humanity. Now... it's more about trucking or brains into giving attention to particular effects, tropes, and "cinematic universes" because that provides a tiny percent of the population with me money.

The locking up of culture with copyright probably makes this much worse.
