The most distinctive mark of a superior individuality is becoming obsessed with something specific: an idea, an object, a territory, a woman, etc. It is this divine obsession that Plato spoke of, the one that propels humanity toward new epochs and discoveries. Precisely this is what our plebeian age blocks from an early stage in the young, through medications and medical fictions such as “autism,” “OCD,” and other frauds. What they fear most is the emergence of a philosopher, a prophet, or a military leader whose sole aim is an existential drive to create a new state, a new political order. That is why the idea that obsession can be the catalyst of something great in the world has simply vanished from the horizon of the common man.
