The Ultimate Radical Solution

This was discovered, by Americans, in the Seventies. and was instantly adopted everywhere - as a successful strategy for coping with a world, that was too much for them. 

People could have said "I cannot understand today's world!" And satisfied themselves with observing it instead. Accepting it the way it was - and making small changes to it. 

This pragmatic approach, however was not satisfying. People wanted a world view they could understand immediately, without thinking about it - that would do everything for them. A religion, in fact. 

The solution for them, was to become nothing. A solution that was easy for anyone to acquire - and was all-powerful. 

This depended on the human ability to consider opposites as identical. And to worship greater powers - powers greater than human powers. They knew these powers existed - all they had to do was discover them. And then be overwhelmed by them. 

This had always been the human solution - they were going back to the one they had always used.
