Our propensity for keeping our heads down in a hierarchical system is my main gripe with trusting humans with governing themselves. We evolved to give governance to an alpha male and have basically lived so for thousands (millions) of years until the last couple hundred years, after which we still did the same with the illusion of not doing so. We're still apes who want to be led by a strong beast who brooks no dissent. I imagine we'll evolve beyond this in time, but atm we're still those same apes, and I do not have the patience to deal with this ****.
