Waste of time because the “tulpa”—your hallucination—has access to the same data repository you use, and doesn’t run on a different frontal cortex.
This also sounds like an argument against IFS. I don’t think it holds water. Accessing the same data as you do but using a different algorithm to process it seems valuable. (This is under the assumption that tulpas work at all.)
The benefits from analytically shifting your point of view, or from using different approaches in different situations certainly don’t necessitate actually hallucinating people talking to you. (Hint: Only the latter finds its way to being a symptom for various psych disorders.)
“You need to hallucinate voices / people to get the benefit of viewing a situation from different angles” is not an accurate inference from my argument, nor a fair description of IFS, which as far as I know doesn’t include sensory hallucinations.
