[QUOTE="Dove, post: 314204, member: 535"] This is an excellent article! "Solzhenitsyn suggested if all mankind’s needs were somehow met, and his troubles eliminated, he would invent needs and troubles. Everyone needs a dragon to slay; obstacles to overcome so that we can find meaning within the drudgery we call existence. When people are struggling to get by, the demagogue peddling cultist beliefs finds his ideas hard to sell, but when the sun is shining and crops are bountiful, is when men without troubles seek the same. Similarly, it is no coincidence that cults target the middle class and the wealthy. It is those living spoiled and aimless lives for whom a glimmer of purpose is an easy sell. For the same reason, intellectuals are prone to embrace the absurd; also inventing dragons that they then might slay. In a society more and more divorced from the ethos that gave its people purpose, it is not just the ivory tower denizens who find sanity hard to hold onto, but those under their tutelage as well.
