“I will create a primitive:Man shall be his name.I shall create a primitive worker,He will be charged with service to the gods,That they might have their ease.”
I lean towards more psychological conditioning and imprinting as the source of this phenomenon, as opposed to outright genetic manipulation since the get go. Though it doesn't necessarily mean that this need for external worship isn't "in our genes", it may be something that's passed down ancestrally.
And maybe the desire to look up to and revere someone/something other than yourself is completely natural and holds merit, but at some distant past got hijacked and weaponized (from reverence to outright worship) to instead enslave humanity, by the powers that shouldn't be (most likely humans with evil inclination for power and control over others)..
I'll keep pondering this, thanks for the food for thought!
always good to ask questions no matter how strange they may seem at first - thank you for this drive talk
Good stuff, interesting questions.
