In this monologue, Dennis Prager asserts that the search for meaning is the most fundamental human drive, surpassing even basic physiological needs like food and the sexual impulse. He argues that while individuals can be content with little or no sexual activity, no one can be happy without a sense of meaning. Prager blames the political left for creating societal chaos and a pervasive sense of meaninglessness, claiming that leftist ideologies fill the existential void left by this loss of purpose. Consequently, he concludes that people who lead meaningless lives are drawn to leftist politics because the left offers a substitute for the missing meaning.
