Did it never occur to you that religion and ideology are tools for aligning individual behaviors via a domestication that reduces volition? And that this sacrifice makes groups more powerful, but individuals more stupid?

It seems to me that humans won against the other hominins not because we were smarter, but because we were programmable. The domesticated version. Wasps are probably individually smarter than bees, but there are more bees than wasps.

What if the smarter ones are called economist or vizier?

It is depressing that all the liberation movements seem to focus on changing who walks in the front rows of the chain gang, and not on how to become free.
