An idea from Thus Spoke Zarathustra

Ask a crowd what they want and nobody asks for greatness. Small pleasures, warm rooms, no more risk. Everyone the same, and anyone who feels different goes willingly to the madhouse. They have found happiness, they say, and they blink.

From Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Friedrich Nietzsche
