The success of, and problem with, control
We humans are wired up to want control. In a large way, we got to the top of the food chain by finding ways to control our surroundings and each other. We developed tools, which allowed us to control many things, including food supplies, housing, mobility. We developed social systems, which allowed control over how we relate to each other, opening up possibilities to grow and develop that are squashed if everyone is out for just themselves. We developed science, allowing vast opportunities to control the material world, as well as insights into how to control our selves (psychology, sociology, neurology, etc.).
