It lead to some sort of action around a 'fiction'....to the moon, curing cancer, to mars.... did they need a Patriarch just hanging out above them?

That last one is a stickler. It could end soon and the more they placed algorithms in the hands of social media the faster it will come. Now the algorithms might be doing the 'divide and conqueror'. A Couple more. After all of that, and that the end of these 10,000 apes in a stadium participating in something, with a type of individualism that makes sense, there was a core belief that their sanctity of 'self' was granted through fee will of them determining what they needed: thing for yourself.
