utility fantasy

The delusional belief that you can make use of something for which you have no knowledge or discipline to understand and utilize appropriately.

Utility fantasies on their own are quite normal and benign unless they are acted upon in which case the results can be detrimental to all relevant parties.

Common objects of a utility fantasy:

a law degree
a million dollars
an expensive camera
a powerful computer
a supercar
a beautiful woman
citizenship of a wealthier nation
chicken tikka masala
