Why do true seekers often end up in weird groups?
Why do true seekers often end up in weird groups? Besides the quite definite possibility that there just aren't enough non-weird groups to hold all the true seekers, I would say that another explanation is that today's idealist without ideas is tomorrow's fanatic.
Said another way, one way to increase enthusiasm for an ideal is to discourage ideas, which is why almost all fanatical groups are suspicious of independent thought.
