Or maybe he's terrified of making his own decisions and thus
taking responsibility for his own life?  Certainly way easier to think
"my Master told me to do this so it must be right" than it is to critically
examine one's own behavior and beliefs while admitting the possibility
that many things you have held as absolute truth for decades might
be not only absurd, but possibly even intentionally concocted by
someone you implicitly trusted to deceive and fleece you.

The latter is a very serious "oh shit" experience, as I have found.
Maybe Tony just hasn't gotten to the "oh shit" yet.  Or maybe he
has so much invested in ignoring the shit that he'll never come face
to face with it in this lifetime.  Or maybe he really is King of the
Universe and an incarnation of the Divine.  I know which ones I
think are more likely...
