Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who have become disillusioned or disheartened with politics may resort to engaging in abstract thinking as an alternative.

It hints at the idea that disillusionment with politics can lead some individuals to seek solace or intellectual stimulation through more contemplative and introspective paths, detached from the tangible world of politics.
