A lot of this was later covered in a dated yet still enjoyable and understandable tv series called ‘star trek’. I mean, sure, literature and speculation of brains and behavior, utopia and chaos goes way back to the original written word. It’s an unfortunate condition of the human brain - a prefrontal cortex that has been imprecisely fused onto a primal brain like a tumor. The PFC creates symbols and structures, logic and resaon, and it interprets a chaotic universe through a lens of rational models. It begins to believe that its models are ‘real’, and it naturally tries to apply them to everything. E.g. compare the Vulkan and the Romulan (I’m no expert here - sorry). Rational people want utopia. I don’t see much problem with people having desire for utopia. It’s natural. The only problem I see is that eventually the tensions between the dionysian and apolloian cause destruction and harm. Lots of people die. Structure is good, but I wish people could invent a way to safely dismantle structure when needed.
