“For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.”
-Carl Sagan
Protean Man
One must be very cautious, however, about speaking of the end of anything, especially ideology, and one also encounters in Protaen man what I would call strong ideological hunger. He is starved for ideas and feelings that can give coherence to his world, though here too his taste is toward new combinations. And while he is by no means without yearning for the absolute, what he finds most acceptable are images of a more fragmentary nature than those of the ideologies of the past. And these images, limited and fleeting though they may be, can have enormous influence on his psychological life.
