Adding to this, I also did a summary of a book from Ernest Becker way back in the day, and the section on neuroticism, or how psychology is taking over from religion, and such broader societal topics you can read about here: https://www.lostbookofsales.com/notes/the-denial-of-death-by...

It's quite some brutal and heavy reading, but then again, if it helps you understand the condition better then it's for the best I guess...
