For some reason (probably the fact that I just woke up), this reminded me 
of Pokemon.

On the subject of Pokemon, we're always told that we "gotta catch 'em all", 
but we're not told why, nor what happens when someone actually does.  Do we 
get world peace?  Does Cthulhu arise from his watery grave?  Are the souls 
of unborn children utterly bent to the will of some nutcase adept at 
Nintendo?  Is Pokemon an exercise in merchandising as mystical ritual?

I leave this to others (who are probably more awake than I) to explore the 
UA spin on this.

begins to present itself to young men as a problem.  Having hesitated for 
some time at the crossroads of their wavering judgement, they at last come 
to a decision:  Some (who have fallen in love with truth and virtue) will 
for the rest of their lives devote their entire energy to the pursuit of 
philosophy, whilst others (ensnared by the enticements of this world or 
burning with a desire for riches) cannot but devote all their energies to a 
life of pleasure and profit."
