We're only a few centuries removed from being barbarian hordes and a few millennia removed from being hunter gatherers. One of the systems that allows us to exist as the civilization that we are is the lies we deceive ourselves with. To abandon those lies you become a law unto yourself, unless you can convince others to join in your new lies. You cannot have humans group together without shared lies, mutual interests, or overwhelming force. We are a defective species that way; we became the dominant species on Earth that way.
