Our core drive is to avoid these loops, the stasis of death. Robots are dead due to their predictability. Our core drive is to be unique and express our uniqueness. (though most of us nowadays have had that sense of uniqueness beaten out of us very early on)

Not everyone can be a wizard and that's a good thing. If a society is propping wizardry as some sort of aspiration, it will eventually collapse.

It should be fine being normal. That's what's been lost when we killed God. Religion taught that we could be Great just by being Good. That we were bearers of the flame already, that we did not need to steal more.

Now we can only feel Great by having IMPACT. We need to do stuff, lots' of stuff, all the stuff. Everyone wants to be seen by everyone else. Greatness became measurable.

We invented a sideways figure 8 and imagined we understood infinity. We took the infinite Greatness of reality and compressed it into something we thought we understood. We never grow up knowing the infinity of greatness so we take on stupid violent tasks to gain it.
