The truth is that a man who is overly reliant on coping mechanisms is a diminished man. He is easier to control and less likely to speak out about the circumstances he finds unsavory in his life and the society he inhabits. Simply put, a medicated man is less of a threat to the norms of modern-day society. A medicated man is less likely to speak up against injustice, less likely to oppose tyranny, and less likely to be effective enough to lead his own family.
