Most of us here have come out of a controlling religion. Does that make us more easily controlled in the future because the neurons and pathways of memory already exist inside of us?
Or does escaping one trap set by men make us extremely aware of another one when we see it?
That’s a good question. I choose the second case and here’s why.
Escaping a trap set by men is not the only “Way” that people become “Aware” of traps. Traps are set for the ignorant. But age, experience, and education are also avenues for people to “Become ‘aware of traps”
The awareness is not so much the traps set for us, but instead, -----the awareness is finding out the reality of what the human species is all about.
And sorry to say, but our history as a species, does not bode well, from as far as we can tell, from all our historical records.
Will we ever figure out that in order to live peacefully with one another, we have to share equally the finite resources the earth is capable of providing?
To do so, there can be NO-One Person in the entire earth, that has more power, than any other person living on the same planet.
Inequality in any form, whether (Political, Wealth, sustenance, etc.) will always be a catalyst for conflict.
A new Ruler is asked a simple, unexpected question, after the overthrow of a dystopian, Society run by a Tyrannical Government that dehumanized the masses by creating environmental disaster, and violence in the form of wars. And to top it all off, daily life for the masses was riddled with urban crimes led by gangs, and Government sponsored blood sports.
But finally all that is over. A new Ruler takes the reigns.

QUESTION;
“Are you preparing for another war?
NEW RULER; "Oh, not now. Now we're in a sweet period where everyone agrees that our recent horrors should never be repeated," he says.
"But collective thinking is usually short-lived. We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction. Although who knows? Maybe this will be it,”
