Confidence is the first step on the path to hanging a myrk.
Something in between is needed, a kind of flexible, vigilant perseverance, measure seven times, cut once.
Based on the clues, if it really does lie in the viability of a civilization (and now I'm not sure of anything except that, in my opinion, it's still written too broadly and pretentiously), then maybe there's a connection to it. If the link breaks, it's about Freud's "discontent with culture." I don't know where to go next, but as a first possible step... Well, maybe someone will check it.
