the individual mind of a human is constantly fighting itself – good thoughts vs bad thoughts – this is the paradox of being human and the side effect of having such an intelligent brain
yes, humans will achieve great things across history, but in doing so, they will always have to fight the demons at their door
across human history, things will be put in place to manage the individual demons – these things are in the form of government and religion
government and religion are necessary for humans to advance – to survive – to thrive – it keeps them on track and away from the demons in the individual mind
without them, chaos and evil and destruction would rule – and there would be no such thing as civilization
