re: #223 Dr Lizardo

I’ve heard of the book you linked - it’s considered one of the best on the subject - but I’ve never read it. I’ll have to check it out.

I’ve never understood wanting to disappear into something so completely that I lost my own sense of self. Perhaps I’m too much of an individualist for that sort of thing. Generally my observation is that people who gravitate towards extremes in anything, politics, religion, social movements, etc., are usually people who have a poorly-developed sense of the individual self and hence they seek to gain an identity through participation in a mass of like-minded others.

What book is this?
