The Borowitz Report is the work of humorist, Andy Borowitz. The story
is a joke.

My guess is that the value of the individual got tossed when
individuals started trying to recreate someone else's spiritual
experiences instead of having their own. Enlightened masters writing
stuff down is a double-edged sword. It's inspiring stuff, but it
leads people to believe that awakening is some kind of standardized
phenomenon as defined by a few particular nervous systems.
