Grant, well said.

Clearly, it would be necessary to the best adapted (in the psychological sense) psyche not merely to have an array of options, a large one or a small, but to actually bring them into being, to make them, each and every one.

This would be why self-made men so seldom suffer from that kind of anomie. It wasn't just that they were too busy.

And it would matter in what stage of your life you read 1984. I read it in adolescence, and Animal Farm also.
