Common sources of dark energy to sustain the psyche past social death:
- Criminal underworld
- Finance
- Law enforcement
- Going to fight in a war
- Supervillain identity
- Exile/refugee community life
Any others?

I'd argue even those are founts of social energy: the whole appeal / nostalgia of becoming a criminal, soldier or cop is the brotherhood and comradery for people who couldn't hack civilian social life, isn't it?
they're more like... genres of social being for non-normies
