A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

At first glance, yes. The rough parts of life can be smoothed out by drugs, such as very immersive games, social media, etc. But the issue here is that the drug dealer is way too efficient and powerful. Their goal is to keep you on that drug perpetually, which is why corpo media is a bad idea. I agree, immersing yourself to get a break from reality is valid though.
