Whats is always interesting about monestic life and its emergence (minus light sabers) is that society across cultures has created spaces for people who dont fit. This need has been recognized and supported for thousands of years.
And there hasn’t really been a replacement for that in modern times. This is a problem.
Monasteries follow strict rules. Good for those who fit these rules but monasteries are far from a place for people who don’t fit.
I may have missed something though - I don’t see how is that related to the linked article.
