It's an act of desperation. I'm lucky that I had not been in such a serious state so far.

Becker has an interesting take on this. I'm wondering if any of those who have read the book remember it? It's actually pretty central to his ideas on death anxiety.
As I recall it can be summed up with- It's a slippery slope.

Can't we argue while doing all that?

I'm right = you're wrong.
Over in the political forum the entire topic of threads is often thrown out because every one is looking for the 'you're wrong' to defend their 'I'm right'.
In the real world this is why so much middle management sucks. And it causes all sorts of problems between departments of business and government. I've seen it first hand over and over. For example the designers think they're right in their design and then the people that figure out how to make it realize that its going to cost way too much money to make it and then they fight about it, or production makes it and quality control says its crap.
Another way of thinking about the issue is the difficulty in seeing things from more than one perspective. As soon as you see something from a new perspective you're likely to challenge your previous opinions. And if you're not a total retard, as soon as you realize an opionion is wrong you look for a new perspective in order to see things right.

Saying man as a society is more close, or less close to enlightenment is like saying deer are more close or less close as a society to enjoying a game of backgammon. The average deer has never known backgammon. He may have seen it played, he may have even played, but because he doesn't know what it is, he doesn't know what he's done.
Eventually you stop looking at what you're doing and start looking at what you're apart of, and if you're not apart of anything you feel is constructive....what you're doing is moot, no matter how great your individual contribution is. A great swordsman is just cannon fodder in a shitty army.
Dunno why, but it just struck my fancy to look up the old shroomery and hit a post or two. Its been a while, and as such, consider this a big freaking crow flying across your path and screaming "CAW"
